Right! PMs sent. Every group has at least one non-USAian in it. I’ve asked some people to send multiple cards, as offered, to fill out our roster. If you decide you’d rather not do so, please let me know by PM as soon as possible. Be sure to post here when you’ve actually sent your postcards (not when you intend to), and when you receive any. Thanks, and enjoy! ---

1986 is considered “vintage”, isn’t it? ---

More vintage than 2006, I suppose, but less than 1886. But it’s all good! ---

Last year I was really confused, if I should sent 3 postcards to each person, or 1 postcard to each person, for a total of 3 postcards. As I received 3 postcards from multiple people last year, I decided to send 3 postcards per addressee, but I will stagger them. First set are in the post, and the others are already addressed, written and stamped. I have never written “U.S.A.” as often as I did yesterday, as I also wrote 4 other postcards and addressed a fifth, with only one for within Switzerland.
