Dear Ruud,
My late friend Carlo Pittore always spoke highly of you and always suggested contact. Recents years have left me doing less mail activity, had a bad taste of others egos trying to glorify the activity for personal means and desires. I think I did send you something along time ago and look forward to a report with you.

Hello Ruud... I was looking through some old stuff of mine and found a neat mail art document called, "Myth America." It was from 1991. I entered as "Jennifer Kosharek" and noticed you were in the booklet too.

Thanks for the welcome, Ruud :-)

Greetings from Brazil

Dear Ruud, We exchanged some mail in the early '90's and I still have everything you sent to me. I was very active for quite a few years and saved many of the cards and letters.
I put together a "mail art show" for a small art gallery. This past year, I helped organize a show for altered books and also included a few framed pieces with selections of old cards to show examples of mail art.
It is nice to find this group and see that mail art is alive and well.

hello ruud, and thank you for the greeting! i just discovered this site this morning. i am pretty slow with computers, but am pleased to be part of this site.
