Yes sir... though I unfortunately had to depart early. Very generous of you to send the box, Ken!

So good to see your cS-posting Jason! Theresa and I haven't seen you in so long it seems and she saw the table photo above, I believe, on Facebook, which I never have time for nor much interest in.

As a side-note, it did not seem like any of the included space postal covers that were in the box shipment, located inside a smaller sealed-up box, were not on the table. I did include nearly a hundred different covers along with some rarities from all facets of space cover collecting. Hopefully they had been available at the meet.

It was just recently pointed out to me the new podcast website by Jason Rubin and Rich Jurek, "Two Collectors Collecting Space," that I just saw on cS. What an excellent idea and I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode and will see others soon and show my support posting(s) as time permits.

Ken, we passed around each individual "packet" of items in the box so each person could see it and select a few items, including the box of covers.

We all decided that we would use the remainder of the items in the box as "seed items" for future meet ups: We plan to bring fresh items to the next meeting to add to the box, and then to pass the box around for everyone to select from.

Another member (Skipper from San Antonio) brought along a nice packet of covers for each person at the meeting, which was another nice surprise.

I still have the box at my house, and it will now be a fixture at future meetings (well, we might need to transfer to a larger box!).

Once again, thanks for sending the box -- it was a very big hit!
