I thought I might show the outgoing card to Mailarta that I am sending off tomorrow in response to her noble quest to become "Canada's Autograph and Portrait Queen". I have seen her collection of Mail Artist's portraits when we met at AARPEX in Seattle last November, and it is considerable. I am sorry to report that it has taken me until now to comply with the wonderful Dame's request to join that esteemed lot. Please forgive.
Here is the invitation I shamelessly put off until this evening. Ah well, truth be known, I have always been reluctant, for some odd reason, to show many images of myself. It is a rare occurrance indeed to have two of me in the same post as seen here.
This is the snap Mailarta took of me at AARPEX last year. I thought I looked like Elmer Fudd that day. Been out in the Northwest woods too long. Thank you very much Mailarta, I appreciate your project very much and still hope to visit Studio J in beautiful Victoria in the future.

Love and Laughter as always, Mailarta
