I think you should have used the name of that company that wouldn't support you at odd hours. I love the story about calling for help in Belgium. We appreciate what you said about the carriers. Ours deliver other papers, too, so I expect he had to make the route twice that day. He actually called us to let us know he had just put the paper in the box. We're on a hill with a 500-foot driveway, so it's not easy to run down and look. I’m a little late with this, but I want to thank the editor, the staff and our carrier.

The number you give leads to voice mail hell, asking for an extension or a staff person's name. Lacking a paper, I have no clue about either. Frustrating.

Thanks for the explanation. No apology is necessary. I don't know of any human activity that goes according to plan 100% of the time. I enjoyed the retro look. Thanks for the explanation.

It's just after 1pm & I still have no paper - called the Sun as requested at the end of the editor's remarks. The circulation rep was non-apologetic and not forthcoming with any details, except to inform me that "looks like we will not be able to get a paper out to you today". I was offered a one-day credit or the option to receive both the Thurs. & Fri. editions on Friday a.m. I chose the latter - will see if that really happens. I am curious what the decision-making process was for deciding who would get a paper today - late or otherwise? I am close to canceling my paid-in-full year's subscription - not because of today's late paper; I understand that "stuff happens", but for "customer service" to not even offer a lame excuse, much less a valid one, for why "it looks like we will not get a paper out to you today" is NOT customer service. This, with the fact that I have begged for my paper to be delivered in plastic during the rain - since resubscribing at the end of Nov., I have not had a single paper delivered in plastic - and we have been thru some nasty wet & windy days during this time, leaving me with swollen and soggy papers.

"Didn't you notice that the paper is in black and white?" he asked. "No, I didn't notice until you mentioned it", I said. It looks fine to me. I don't mind the paper being in black and white at all, just as long as the online version is in color.

He was a great photographer then, and he hasn't slowed down one bit. Congratulations to Larry! He deserves it. It was my honor to work with Larry for several years in the 80s at the Sun.
