Your mail arrived yesterday.

Thank you for the additional contributions.

I'm pinging you on this thread because it was the most active and I am hoping someone who gets some feedback on the packages and letters and cards we sent will be kind enough to let the rest of us know.

My contact at DOD sent the following in response to my request for information of whether the scarves were received.
********************************************

Good Afternoon Dr. Pitkin,

The scarves were received and most appreciated.

And that's all folks, until maybe one of the soldiers writes us when they are allowed to communicate.

The Guild got a great thank you letter for the goodies they sent. I feel very jealous.

However these soldiers are out in the field, and don't have access to all the amenities that the sailors on the USS Roosevelt have. So anyone who receives any word, please let me know.
