Re: contacting PB&F by mail
Thank you Pete, and all others who replied.
Now I think I finally got that straight.
I'll warm up my fax to order an Old Shoe plans set, and then go searching for paper, envelopes and stamps to find out what my last boat will be. (Never too early to look ahead).

I've been corresponding with Susanne Altenburger at the address below
my name at the end of this e-mail. Let me offer a few perspectives and
opinions.
I bought the plans for Blackliner (679-B) a few months ago, and
have exchanged several letters with her regarding possible modifications to the
design. I prefer letters for this kind of thinking. Susanne's responses are
unfailingly timely, well-though out, articulate, and address each issue and
comment I've raised. She brings up issues I've failed to consider and offers her
opinions and perspectives. Susanne's letters have arrived about a week or so
after I would estimate my letters arrived at her address; this is very timely,
in my opinion.
As for the online design catalog, I can see where that would be of real
benefit to the us as consumers and students of their work; I only wish I lived
closer so I could offer help in that regard. I would certainly like to see one!
I would expect doing a quality job is neither simple nor cheap, nor
something that can done on the fly. (I sure hope there is a biography
under contemplation!)
Every plan I've ever bought from a wide variety of designers has come
rolled in a tube or folded in a mailing package. Response from the designer has
never been more than two weeks.

I have, at this juncture, a practical question. There was a single report on this list that the PO Box 1209 address no longer worked, due to a mix-up at the post office. Suzanne has given out, on this mailing list, an address on Atlantic Street in Gloucester. Has the PO Box situation been resolved? Did it ever even exist? What is the current preferred mailing address for contacting PB&F?
