In light of the repeated needs for people to have copies of the letters I have so far received from 33 states packages have already gone out by priority mail to Troy Lynn Eckart, Pam Troutman, Jeanne Carley, and Diane Rogers of the AFA. As early as today (since they began going out in groups on Saturday by priority mail) by the estimation of the post office at least some of these individuals will have copies of the ACTUAL STATE LETTERS, the vast majority of which are on their departmental letter head, and a few of which are answered with signed notes on my letter AND their business cards attached. This is earlier than anyone thought I'd be sending them out, including me, but they were needed for some of the California efforts and the AFA needed them immediately for several things they are pursuing to protect ferrets. These individuals will discuss among themselves arrangements for who will be able to make them available to other needing them and when that will be something they can add to their many other things they do to help ferrets. Oh, and Ronnie and I have been discussing whether I should bring a copy of each for people to see at the anniversary party and I WILL be bringing one copy of each page (83 pages) along for folks to see there.
