same question. I know I didn't specify MalikJr on mine.

and hasn't gotten better yet, of course.
That goes without saying. :biggrin:

I addressed mine to the whole class, since I didn't know MalikJr's name. But y'know, I think most Watchers who have planned to send a card have posted in this thread and mentioned where they were sending from. So it shouldn't be *too* hard to piece it together....

The teacher said that for the ones that weren't addressed to a specific student would be given to the students no one sent a postcard for, so it's all good. :)

Menolly--You are a very brave lady. :)

This is still making me well up. Good grief.

Not sure how quickly mine will arrive; in the past, post from the UK to the US has taken anything up to three months. Dispatched about two weeks ago though, so should arrive within the time frame.

He's a sweetie, isn't he? He just hears KW so much in this house, I guess it is a big part of his life too. Here's a shot of the little guy in front of his school this past week.

Thanks Balon and Cov Jr!!!

So much for being the aloof British cad you claim to be... :P

I'm so glad his project is going well. That is such fun for him and his classmates and he is adorable. :biggrin:

I finally got my postcard in the mail yesterday. So sorry for the delay....I've just been distracted by real life. I carried it around in my bag for about two weeks (and I go to the post office every day but just kept forgetting to put it in the box!).

Hope it arrives safely! :D

I think you're good to go here; I'll PM the address if I still have it in my inbox. (I have it; PM sent)

Sorry, haven't checked in for a while. As far as I know the project is still going on. They are out of school now until Jan 5th. I'll PM the address to you.

Thanks again!!!

Thanks for sending the address. I can't promise anything, but I will do my best to send a postcard while I am gone.

Did mine ever show up? I gave them a Jimi Hendrix one. Figured that'd represent the Washington music scene
