I’m going to bump this once, in case WillSantini sees it, to let him know that on 3/22 a goody package will be mailed to the address posted earlier in the thread It will be from Kansas, and will have **WillSantini, SDMB** printed in a corner, to let him know it’s intended for him. Also, I copied and mailed a story thread from Cafe Society that used used his name as one of the characters, in his honor. The character is a school teacher in a Western, is brave, handsome, and all the schoolgirls have crushes on him! 😛 If any Dopers want to post more information for him, or suggestions on the mailing, or what it should contain, let me know in the next two days, in this thread or by email. ---
