It's not a burden at all, Marc.  I'll include a TPDD2 Boot Disk in your order,
and since I have several on hand, it's on the house ... my pleasure.

Hey ... thank you.  I understand the responsibility I've acquired, i.e. Club
100 as the last source for Model "T" stuff on the face of the earth!  That is
why I've increased my activity.  I will admit that with the awesom amount of
effort I'm expending to develop Port Chicago's Loading Dock, I've let Club 100
slip this past year.  I apologise.  I just didn't consider the impact.  But,
given the major amount of feedback (concern and support) I've received from
folks all over the world, I've reconsidered my position.

Given the above, I've committed a few thousand dollars to a club-wide mailout
that's ready to hit the street tomorrow, Monday 1/8/96.  The mailout includes:

 - the current catalog
 - a specials & donation page
        - offering 20% off on January orders
        - offering specials (see current newsletter)
        - a request for donation support
        - a "special" order form

A second mailout of a post card hits the street at the same time to an "old"
club list, containing folks I haven't heard from in 5 or more years.  I did a
similar mailout 2 years ago which was very successfull.  It resulted in enough
donations to "completely" pay for the mailout cost, plus again as much money
(WOW!), and orders, and equipment for the consignment sales which you folks
snapped up which, in turn, allowed me to return a few thousand dollars to the
owners.  It was the ultimate win, win, win, win program.  It doesn't get any
better than that!

Thank you for your support ... -Rick-
