Bob,

As usual in my rush to be late I must have misread your post. I made a
donation to the USO in Aqua's name and had them send the confirmation to
you.

Here's a copy of their confirmation to me:

Dear Mr. Nastelli,

The USO gratefully acknowledges your generous contribution. Your
support, together with that of other loyal donors, helps us continue to
provide critical services to the men and women of our Armed Forces and
their families. Contributions to the USO are tax-deductible to the
extent allowable by federal law. No goods or services were provided by
the USO in exchange for this contribution.

Your donation reference number is: USO 291559.
Please save this email for your records.

DONATION INFORMATION:
Contribution to the USO: $25.00

--------------------------------------------------
Total Contribution: $25.00

My address is in a reply to a post from big-piper. I can send it again
if need be.

Actually it was because Big-Pipers post sounded like "make a donation,
and get an Aqua patch."

So that's what I did. I made a donation and posted my addy here for
Bob's convenience. Remember the old saying, "There's usually three ways
to do most things, and one of them is always wrong."

Hold one of those patches for me folks. Sorry for the delay, was in
the wind.

I'm shooting a check and SASE to Banker in the morning for 5 chances
on the EKIII blanket and also a donation for the USO, one check covers
both.

Frito, If you pull my name out of the hat, send the blanket to Eddie.

Oh, NOW I get it! I'm supposed to address and post an envelope to
you instead of you sending me a SASE.
