First off I want to say one thing. Happy Birthday PACK! She is one year old. Second I want to say that she has had her ups and downs, and still made it through the year with only minor scratches. I was bad-mouthed and called names on the chip board, but we are still growing, and are stronger than ever, thanks to all of you. Third, we are a newsletter, and I can find NO reason to have a rule book on "how collectors need to act". We are adults, but I for one act like a kid at Christmas time when I get a package of cards in the mail. I hope PACK can reach her teen years with all of you at her side. Time will tell, but in the mean time, I am going to keep reporting what info the members send me, and if you want to join us, hang on kids. Things may get interesting!! One last thing, I am sorry to say that Daryl and I won't be at the Oregon swap, and neither will Jim. But I hope you all have fun, and please, someone send a report to the PACK for the next letter, OK? Pat
