Net 54 Secret Santa's Back - Are you in?

[SMPEP]

Hi Ben (and others),

I was going to provide a public update in the next couple of days but since the question has been asked ...

To my knowledge, the Secret Santa was a success outside of the missing package to Rich Saylor. (Sorry Rich!)

I still have not been able to contact his Secret Santa to see where the error occurred (Did he not send it? Did I accidentally give him the wrong name? Did the post office lose it?).

I will offer that his Santa is someone I have participated in other Secret Santa exchanges with in the past - so I suspect this is an honest error and not a deadbeat issue. Knowing this person to a small degree, I also recall the person was not around for the holidays last year so I was going to give him until Jan 3rd or 4th to get in touch with me.

I will provide a public update when this has been resolved.

Thanks to all who participated! I can honestly say ... I would have enjoyed getting more than one of those packages!!!

I have made the connection...Frank has been AWOL from posting on Net54, and this package has not made its way to its recipient.

Thus Frank is Deadbeat Santa!

This was a great success folks. Thanks so much to Pat for doing it. All who enjoyed it owe him a small debt of gratitude, imo. It helped the forum to bring members a bit closer and have some fun. And for that I too am appreciative. Pat gets a T shirt whenever more are made. And that will hopefully be soon...

Now about Dr. Frank and the missing SS...

i want to just thank SMPEP for doing this and many are busy during the holidays. This makes it just more special getting something from someone whom collects and shares the joyfullness in card collecting.
And heres a funny special video:

Patrick did an awesome job with this. Hopefully this tradition will continue. Loved what I got and my giftee seemed to like what he got. It was all about the giving and great job of setting it up.

So as a final update to this thread -

The bad news is that Rich Saylor never received his Secret Santa present from Sean Schuettpelz - and what's worse is that I have been trying to contact Sean via PM, email, home phone and cell phone since Dec 26th. Sean has not responded to any of my attempts to contact him - so I am just shining the light on this so everyone is aware.

The GREAT news is that Ben North was a more than awesome board member. Ben took initiative and sent Rich a Secret Santa present - even though he wasn't even in the exchange.

THANK YOU BEN!!!! I think it was really generous of you to do this!!!
