Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 2,085 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 The mail carrier left a slip in the mail box yesterday. Postage due, large envelope, two dollars and fifty five cents. It wasn't in the post office when I went up with cash in hand. It came today. Here it is. I about fell over. I was nominated by an old squad partner. In better than a quarter of a century of putting my life under the lights and siren, this is one of the only times anyone ever said thank you! 20 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CONGRATULATIONS You, sir, have earned it On that note...maybe start with the CONGRATS first. I had a similar "you owe for" a package that was sent to me...I let it go back to the sender. When the sender called for my address update, I explained the sutuation. It was sent back with no postage due. Seems it was put in the wrong shipoing code. So yup, that was my first thought too. Glad Mr. Keller got a well deserved (and from,a fellow mate) acknowledgement!!! Have you read any of his books??

Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 2,820 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Yes Ma'am I have and I have told him on several occasions that when he writes about things like the "Silver Jewel" I can taste the ice cream. Which is sorta why I felt that I could poke my tongue firmly in my cheek and say what I said ......... stupid me. There is a thread in the Saloon called Firelands the Beginning; it's a multicontributer story to which Mr. Keller was a major contributer ........ check it out too 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 2,085 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 ... good heavens, Wallaby, I thought it was funny! I'm one of the hardest people to irritate you'll ever meet. It's possible to make me mad ... it IS possible, but you have to work at it, and so far, you ain't! (Besides, every time I take myself too seriously, I end up looking like the north end of a south bound horse!) 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
