Hi John, If nothing else it created activity on here and some ribbing of the Post Office employees. Not a life and death problem. I am going to try and make meeting Friday if I feel OK. Just wondering if YOU are going? Jim Consider each day a gift. Use each for who knows when we shall no longer be able to do so. James R COTTRILL.

Received my newsletter yesterday in Davis, WV. Betty Riley

Jim; Believe me I tryed to get them to the right place but I can't make everything happen the right way! You know I just thought of something that might have a bearing on this problem! I was wondering what time they were brought to the bulk mail unit that night! I never got them till after 11:15 PM and that is after the time that Pittsburg goes out! If someone knows what time they were brought to the PO let me know and I will have a talk with our mister bulk mail clerk and find out why he never got them to me till this time instead of earlier! Sorry for the problem with all the Newsletters but it might not be the Clerk or Carriers falt!

No newsletter yet -- was hoping it would be in today's mail, but I guess the mule hasn't made it to NY yet. Kathryn

I received my newsletter on Saturday and was so happy to read it! Beverly Railey Walter Oakmont PA, moving to Cheat Lake, WV next year!

I received my issue for March today at the correct address. Barb

John, I am sure none of us are accusing you of carrying them around. We are referring to those guys who take them off the truck and set them in a corner at the various local post offices. I have seen and known carriers who did more than they should. They check on us elderly who don't pick up their mail for a couple of days - which we didn't attempt to get out during the bad weather to get our mail. Our carrier called to see if we were ok.

My newsletter came today. Jean B. Smith in Bellefonte, Pa ( In the center of the state)

Ethel I am anxious to get my copy out here in California so I can see more info on this Mary Robinson Swiger. I wonder if she is related to Margaret Jane Robinson (Nov.24,1849-Sept. 11-1926) who married John Hammond and is buried in the Hammond Graveyard on Gregory Run?

Hi I still have not received my newsletter. I live in Lost Creek which is sorted in same mail center. I am a life member. The only thing I can think of is somehow they resorted to one of my old addresses - current is Rt 3 Box 820 Lost Creek, WV 26385 Barb Harvey

My mail came today and my newsletter was not in it. Perhaps within the next few days it will be here.

Hi Folks, If you have received your newsletter across the country please let me know. The ones that seem to be missing are in the working bags and I can understand that. Probably being at the end of the month the Postal Service has a lot more mail to process with checks and all. I know one time our members in Alaska got theirs in like three days. If you don't get yours please let me know and we will see that you get one. But let's at least give them until next Monday the 7th of April as I would think they should be delivered by then. I know our member John Hines goes right to work on them as soon as I take them out to the bulk mailing room. The application for the workshop is in this newsletter and if you are planning on attending it is important that you get your registration in early.
