"In The Mail" Thursday 5/27/04
Opening the mail provided some great fun today. One RTS and a pretty much
expected failure along with one non sports success that I am going to enjoy a great deal. But first the return to sender I got today was from: J.C. Wilson - retired football ???? any ideas ???? 410 71st Street Capitol Heights, Md 20743-2214 stamped: attempted not known and then the failure was from Rod Gilbert - retired new york ranger 1623 3rd Avenue: Apt 41A New York, NY 10128-3646 His reason for not signing is that the team does not permit (he is still employed by them) him to sign for anyone except charities. Now I understand they all have the right to sign or not to sign and I respect Mr. Gilbert's decision not to sign. Dissappointed yes, but oh well. But to blame it on a team policy that is not followed by others, because I have received successes from other front office folks is offensive. If ya don't wanna sign just say I don't sign. I will go away quietly. But the successes were enough to offset those failures and the one I really enjoyed today came from SINGER Leslie Uggams (the voice of an angel) C/o Marquis Theatre New York, NY 10036 sent 5/13/04 received 5/27/04 she sent a signed playbill, she signed my index cardc and signed and inscribed an 8x10 bw photo and then of course the sports succeses: HOCKEY Mark Johnson - New Jersey Devils 1440 Monroe Street Madison, WI 53711 SENT 5/18/04 received 5/27/04 rec'd 2 index cards signed Mike Zuke - St. Louis Blues 430 Norman Gale Drive Ballwin, Mo 63011-2440 sent 5/8/04 received 5/27/04 rec'd 2 index cards signed BASEBALL Bob Adams - detroit tigers 31713 157TH Street E Liano, Ca 93544-1222 SENT 4/29/04 RECEIVED 5/27/04 rec'd 2 index cards signed Bill Voss - chicago white sox 10625 E Oak Creek Trail Cornvill, AZ 86325 SENT 5/18/04 RECEIVED 5/27/04 received 2 index cards and how was your mail day? til next time.... hope all your mailboxes are full see ya ken |

I will go away quietly. Excellent point. I recently had a success with Don Maloney, who is the Assistant GM for the team and he did not mention any such policy. Wish you luck in the future- J.R. |
