I need to know where the boxes are. These people please let me know the status of the boxes you've either had last, or should have received. GB 1 Eric Brouwer, Paul Foster, Patricia Schemp GB 2 Patricia Schemp, Dave Jost, John DiRienzo Tech 1 I (...) (25 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya, lugnet.general)

GB 3 & Mini 1 Both of these boxes were sent by me to Mike U. I had them both at the same time, so I sent them in one box (since they happened to be going to the same person)for him to break back up when they move on. Don't worry, all the minifig (...)

I screwed this one up a bit in the beginning. I got GB2 first, and sent it along to John K. When I got GB1, I knew John K. was on the list as well, and thought he was next, so I mistakenly sent GB1 to John K. as well. GB1 skipped Paul F. and (...)
