News Update |
|
It's about time you got an update from me. There has been a lot going in my world so a few words are in order. The big news is that after more than eight years in the same place. we have moved. We didn't move far, but it was big move up! Our new address is 23143 Calico Corners Lane, Spring, TX 77373-6901. We took another step with the move, we lost the land line. We all have cells so we made the decision to drop the home phone. I have still not totally come to grips with that especially since it means no more fax. The phone to use to contact me is 713-582-6215. If I don't answer please leave me a message and I will get back to you ASAP. I have always had a problem carrying a cell phone so that will be a change I have to work on. On the
subject of the Germany Photo Album. Rene (The German Solider) and I have
been conversing for some time now. I think he is going to allow me to
use his photos, but I still need to get a more definite OK from him. He
writes pretty good English, but because of his placement of words it
some times clouds the meaning. He is also pretty busy and it is
sometimes a long time between our conversations. We are both interested
in the others military experiences so we have plenty to talk about. I
need to get back in touch now that this move is complete. Check out the
site for the return of the photo album and any interesting information
the comes from my conversations with Rene.
Rene and I had a long talk yesterday and he gave me the go ahead to turn the album back on. I would like to thank Rene for allowing us to use his photos! We got off to a rocky start but I really like the guy!

The North Point Store |
|
I have to take a minute to apologize for the rough beginning of the store.
I'm at the mercy of Cafe Press and I have to abide by there rules so
things have not gone real well so far. I keep running into road blocks
with copy right infringements, and as of yet I have not figured out how to
get around them. The problem I'm having is in using the Army Logo. They
will not allow it at all as is. I have tried to redesign it so as to be
both recognizable but different. So far they have nixed everything I have
put out there, though it took them two days last time I submitted one. But
I shall continue to try and get something through.
There is one design for the 619th Ord Co with the Kriegsfeld Crest that I think is nice. I have a mug, travel mug, and a polo shirt of this design and I love them all. The shirt is really nice and I wear it when attending military and patriotic events. The travel mugs are really neat and are made of ceramic outside with an insulated metal interior. I have only one design for the 558th MP people that has a NP tower on it. I think it's a nice design and worth investing in. All the same items are available in either unit. I will keep all of you updated when I get something new available. |
