6 issues per year and chock full of stunt 'stuff'   Thirty years ago it was a few mimeographed pages and was a newsletter.  Over the years especially after Tom Morris got into running it, it exploded to its present 80 - 100 pages.  Plus some color and lately a copy of Uncle Mikeys origianl artwork....   Really great!!!!

Have been reading mine the last couple of days.  I paid for first class postage this year and it is worth it.  DOC Holliday

I was delinquent in re-upping my dues so I probably won't see the Jan-Feb issue till the end of the month. It's what I get for being inefficient. Sigh...

So see, even columists in the thing have to follow the rules.   :##

The PAMPA membership reference manual will be shipped out with the May/June 2007 issue just as it was last year.

Yes, you will receive the Jan/Feb issue with everyone else if you made the cutoff for the mailing of the issue.  Only Shareen knows that.  If you didn't, you will receive the issue later when she submits late renewals to the Printer/Publisher.

Did you join late? Sometimes if you join late you miss it. You can ask for one.
