David Stafford's Comments

David,

Even though I am hideously late in acknowleding your gracious gift of 1950's magazines.  I wanted you to know that the box arrived in pristine condition an on my birthday no less.  I couldn't figure out who would have sent me such an incredible package.  I poured over them for hours and am so afraid that I may never cut into them....but I will get over it.  I am in the process of sending you some snail mail.  It will probably go out on Monday the 31st.  Thank you so much....this gift was so much more than I had dreamed.

Sincerely........

Mercedes (La Marquesa)

I know. The little envelopes get to me too.  Then at home the card goes in my album.  Baseball card holders-9 to a sheet.  Am I addicted or what!  I have over 430 that I've made.  I can't stop David.  4 years now and I still love them.  What a nut case :-)

I love the card and the red stamp!  Excellent work for the cause brother.  Thank you.  I'll mail one tomorrow or two.

Thank you so much for the map its beautiful! Is it of the ladies in your life? x

...but instead is a three-prong sofa made of ink. i tellsya, they just don't make those like they did when i was a young scallion. back then, you could getcher wobble kidneys for less than a pickle's worth. the tailors had tails, the figments had figs, and the moustaches had mush. WHALE SPACKLE changed all of that, of course, though i can't say i don't recognise their contribution to society. why, just the other day i was down by the docks and i saw a....

Most excellent.  Loving your six beds, one cat.  Will post images soon.

whale pettifours, you say? i suspect you, dear sir, of being a secret agent of WHALE SPACKLE INC, Azerbijan's number one processor of whale sundries, tidbits, mentionables, unmentionables, and frombles. i am wise to your antisquid agitprop. do not adjust your set. :D :D

Yay! Glad you joined Postal History boutique for the Valentine mailing...just a card or two and if you can thar in the beautiful USofA find a "Love" stamp or two to send ;-) I have many an old one from 1983-85-86...but no new ones...like the pansies,( hint, hint, hint!)

Ooh cool!  I spend hours on sites like FFFound gleaning digital images...the Lib. of Congress would mean an exponential leap in my online digging hours!  I'm totally there.  I wrote my master's thesis on WWII propaganda posters and spent some time in the LoC basements...good times.

Dear David,

I'm a grateful recipient of a giant whammy you threw over me.  I love your gloriously creative and clever works.  Thank you thank you thank you!  Sending you a little silliness today.

Jerry was my father.

I'll leave Jerry Boy a puzzle.  But I can tell you he was from Brooklyn and died at age 41.

I hope you liked the works.

Thanks for the great Grinchy poem card!  I love Donald O'Connor.  Cheers to you and PJ!

Sounds wonderful.  I really can't wait to get them!

I'll be with my 83 yr old mom next month for a week and I'm bringing them with.  It will spark her memory and she can "go on about those times".  You made this possible.

I owe you.
