John, I sent you a friend request and reached the max word limit.  You may not remember me from the period 1986-1990 or so.  I was fairly active under the name Tuesday Art and living in San Diego at the time.  You perforated a mail art stamp for me on AIDS/SIDA.  I'm unable to put my hands on one at the moment and fear it may have been lost in one of my many moves since that time.  I am slowly reentering the mail art world though it has never left my heart.

I am happy to see you are still in the game, though I think you used to live in Dallas  did you not.  I seem to recall some connection with the library there from which the fatal shots were fired.  I could be merging memories so if not you then accept my apologies.

Do you still do perforations? I've been casually looking for a perffing machine and it seems they are hard to come by.

At any rate I hope you are doing well.

Wow - what a treasure to have-especially in such perfect working order. The comb idea is so simple but so perfect. I am going to try and make a perforation machine. I have an old sewing machine and I am sure I might think of something workable...

Ps how do you perforated? Srsly.

Choking back my true feelings...Thanks for the mail!

Thanks for this!
