Now You Can Start Your Own Mail Art School (Hat Tip to Jon Foster)

I received a package of wonders from Jon Foster, that walking cornucopia of mail art, and was surprised to find the mail art school popping up vis a vis our mutual friend, Le Sticker Dude. (Thank you, Joel). What a great idea I thought! To make it easier for everyone to start their own school I am providing a cleaner slate for interested viewers to use. In the lower…See More

(As a pedant I have to tell you, Dean, that you are not authorized to spell unautherized that way. I will have to report…

Happy Birthday Mr. Stafford!  Gee...You're probably moving into "classic" territory by now, I bet!  (Not that you weren't always a classic case of classy!)
