| Correspondence to/from SQN: Hello! I had the fortune/misfortune of getting my post card again :-( Unfortunately, my address was listed incorrectly on the card and I wanted to updated it. The correct address is: Andrew XXXXXX Durham, NC 27712 For what it's worth, I had the opportunity to try several bottles recently (Omega - my favorite, Just For the Love of It and the Midnight Oil) and they were spectacular. I'm sure you get it a lot, but if there is anything I can do to move up on the list, short of wearing a dress or cheering for UNC, I'd be happy to oblige. ------- Dear Andrew, Thank you for your email. I apologize for the misprint of your address, I have corrected it in our program. As for your position on the waiting list, there is not much that can be done to move you up on our list. That just would not be fair to people that have been waiting longer than yourself. As I am sure you know, our waiting list moves as people on the mailing list drop off or resign. It is very difficult to determine how fast or slow this may happen as it depends on people. We do appreciate your patience and your enthusiasm for our wine. ------- Ironically, she seems to think I'm concerned about fairness and other people! Ha! I vote Republican damnit, do I sound concerned? I want my 1/1/0 allocation. In all seriousness, class organization and I love the postcard approach. I'm guessing she didn't get my sense of humor, but then again, not many people do | | | |

Please send her another email asking that the fellow whose SQN wines you tasted to please move his name up the list. | | | |

| I am taking care of GMTinJapan's SQN order, and he is willing to share a few bottles. If anyone is interested, please E-mail me at: cwinff@hotmail.com . GMT has never asked for anything more than release cost, but I am tired of seeing him lose out so I hope that anyone interested can offer some compensation for his generosity. Chris. | | | |

| GMTinJapan is George (SP?) from the old WS board days. Very good guy. I don't know who this guy is that is speaking for him as my friend Ed Skupien usually gets all of George's allocations sent to his house here in Sac. | | | "Everyday is worthy of a glass of sparkling wine" - Andrea Immer MS | |

| To Winebrat and all. I am a former student of his, and am visiting his place while attending a symposium. He has had health issues as well as having so little time from work that he hasn't been able to keep up with most things. While I am here, I want to do what I can to help out, hence this. The wines will be coming from Mr. Skupien. | | | |
