To mail or not to mail: I send mail to share dispatches out in the field, Istanbul via San Francisco, collector of information, moments of thought, connect the dots from all my travels, follow trails, forge paths, inform, learn, fill mail boxes with worlds beyond reach. The reasons are endless and timeless.
Heartbeats: Journalism, writing, books, libraries, passports, air mail, aeroplanes, linguistics, ancient ruins, cryptography, history, vintage, old magazines, calligraphy, sea turtle conservancy, naval fleets, U.S. History, small country Americana towns, forest trees, photography, desert dunes, postcards, agents, intelligence, pin ups, spies, vamps, pulp fiction, cinema, genealogy, family trees, Turkey, Israel, Europe, Armenia, Greece, Slavs, Morocco, crusades, war history, empires, heraldry, obscure nobility, vinyl, ambassadors, diplomats.
Special attention paid to philately and vintage.

Turkish Agent??? The CIA, Celestial Intelligence Agency, reported to me, in my capacity of Patlander Ambassador to Planet Earth, your true identity my dear agent. At the time some obvious connections are easily available to an attentive celestial being. Turkish ascendancy, journalism, "desoriented writing", San Francisco, travels, mail artist since 2008..... All that stuff speaks loudly. By the way: I just received your envelope. The sender name has certainly changed, the style remains the same.
Dear Nome d'Arte, Are you an agent for the eating of Turkish delights? Istanbul may have the Grand Mosque, but Sydney yodels back with the Opera House. Your pixel pal, Terry Reid de Plume
Hi;Turkish Agent. I am so thrilled to have a spy as a friend, wow! Although I am surprised that there are not any Turkish dishes in the list of your interests. I love anything with patlican in it.
I agree with your political non commitment, that is why I campaign for an independent London, with lots of Turkish restaurants in it.
I have been eating aubergines everyday during my holidays in Catalonia and there I came upon a recipe for a dish from Italy which as soon as I try it I will send to you with the appraisal.First I have to get to my local Turkish supermarket were they have the best veg and fruit.
I will have to do a picture of the dish or it would not be mail art.
Not only I have two small supermarkets authentically Turkish within some ten minutes in the bus but a Turkish restaurant right at the corner of my road. We here in London are multicultural which I hope will remain so. Now that I remember there is another near by too, and would you believe it? a Turkish barber! I cannot imagine what is the difference with an English one.
Hi! I saw your post on the PDXCC on Toni's comment. I would love the info on the group. I am fairly new to mail art, but I love the outlet it gives me!
I am interested A s l i, although i probably wouldn't be able to attend many meetings since I live quite a ways from Portland. I would love to know more. Thanks!
Goodies received! Thank you!! I love the holiday theme, and that Buddha sticker is awesome!!! Safe travels! If you're in PDX, give me a shout, would love to meet for coffee. :O)
Happy new little one, though I'm not sure when it arrived. Maybe not so new. In any case, take your time getting mail out, to state the obvious, as little ones take up a lot of one's time. But someday, you'll have wee hands helping you make mail art. My grand girl is very into it these days.

When I saw the American Embassy had a Turkish Agent, I was certain they would welcome a nom de français such as Terry Reid de Plume.

Thank you so much for the wonderful card! The bookcover looks so much like the Church of the Transfiguration on 29th Street in New York.
