Ken,
Either way, it was worth the wait. I'm enjoying the articles very much along
with the photography in it. Keep up the great work!
I might still submit my response to the survey in that issue.

It was mailed about February 5th.

We have had horrible problems with USPS since last June, not just mailing
magazine but packages. 

We had an order for a single 8x10 print on about June 23, got the print
made, we mailed about the 24th. This was going from Roanoke to suburban
Richmond, just a bit over 200 miles away.

We ship everything with tracking. About the 22nd or so of July, the person
emails and asks when he could expect his package. I went back in and tracked
the package. It had last been scanned on July 11 at a mail center in Texas,
then two days later at another mail center in Texas. I got another print
made, packed and ready to ship, decided to track one more time. It had been
scanned about an hour before in Richmond, so it probably went for actual
delivery the next day or so. Over a month to go 200 miles.

This is only one example. The post office, in its infinite wisdom a few
years back, decided to close the Roanoke sort center, and ship everything to
Greensboro, even it is going from Roanoke to Vinton or Salem, less than 10
miles either way. So if you drop it in the box in Salem, it goes to Roanoke,
to Greensboro, then back to Roanoke then to Salem. Total insanity.

Anyway, it usually takes about 2-3 weeks from the time the magazine is sent
to the printer before it goes out to mail.
