This post is a good idea; I learned with a mailing I do for a civic association that sometimes people forget to notify address changes and this helps everyone - sender and receiver. Merci

PW #24 was in my mailbox when I got home Wednesday evening.  Love the cover shot!  Great articles with wonderful photos on the European events.  (Ralph, Lucy says that you and Flora look like you were having a great time!)

Still waiting here in Oklahoma City too, but sounds like it may still be in transit per Clees having just received his.

To let you know the editor has no extra pull with regards to the USPS - as of 22 Mar, had not received mine either!

I have to say I have had bad problems with the USPS this past year: mail forwarding that failed, mail that takes a whole month to reach me from France or Holland, exorbitant cost to send a package inside the US; all just awful.

Got it in Paris!   Nice cover shot.  Will save for the weekend.  Looks like we can enjoy the South of France tour all over again. 

Much appreciate all the effort.

Got our copy today as well and as always, great photos, great stories. Also nice to see the faces behind the names of many of the folks here on the forum. And Oz, that will be a hard to beat shot of the cover of the issue when an interesting subject in the background ;) Looks like it was taken from one of the balconies of the Pullman Hotel?

John,

I can't help but takes shots with the tower - the photo is from my apartment, but your thinking about the Pullman is pretty close as its just 300 meters down the street from me.  You must know Paris quite well.

.......(Ralph, Lucy says that you and Flora look like you were having a great time!)

We certainly were Mike! There were however a few “moments” on hairpins along the Gorges du Verdon where Flora wasn’t so sure. :-[
