Few of you will recognize this Bulletin that we received in the mail this morning. It is Vol,II No. 3, Summer 1986 newsletter on the Programs and Activities of the American Land Resources Association. It is an 8 page item with the postmark indicating it was mailed from Greenwood, Maryland on August 4, 1986 and carried the address of our house. As I recall, I was a member of the "American Land Association" at one time and believe I passed on to son Jon at least one of their Journals that included an article written by Hugh H. Bennett. Now for the rest of the story. When Jon was here in early January he and Carolyn boxed up a bunch of books, pamphlets, sports programs, etc. and mailed some to son Tim and others to Jon. By mid-January we received a couple items from our local Post Office that we were sure came from a box that Jon would have sent to his home address back in Virginia. We talked to the folks at the local PO who remembered how well they had been packed. We talked to Tim a few days ago of getting his boxes which not only had part of his stuff, part of Jon's things, and some books of German WWII aircraft. Today we talked to Jon and he too had a "mixed bag" which included some of the things packaged for Tim. It appears that the boxes were damaged on their was to Indiana and Virginia and the contents mixed together. The boys will now get straightened out what they received but it was all mailed book rate and no record was made of the total contents. Just part of the problems of closing out our house after 35 years when the 3 boys live in Indiana and Virginia. We are grateful every day of our daughter and her family living here in Seward.
