  • World Letter Writing Day (1 September)

    From Ross Clark@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 1 22:57:42 2024
    Not an exciting note to re-start on.
    This one was started by Australian photographer Richard Simpkin. He writes/illustrates books about "Australian Legends". He would send a
    proposal by mail, and was always thrilled when he got a letter signed by
    one of his legends.
    If you're interested, there's also a National [USA] Letter-Writing Day
    (7 December).
    I like the idea, but I was never much good at letter writing, even when
    you had no choice; so I won't be much help in reviving the "lost art".
    I'll stick to postcards.

    Or Usenet posts? Or emails?
