Mark & Sue Pepe hail from Kensington, CT USA.

After finding our initial box in June 2002, we have since found letterboxes in 18 states and placed them in 13 states; 4 countries: Aruba, Bermuda, The Netherlands, Great Britain; and on a cruise ship! Thanks for stopping by our website and we appreciate your continued support.

"Have fun and just get out there & box!!!"

Thanks to a Non-Letterboxer!



Last week, when Sue & I returned from VT, there was an email awaiting us. It was from a gentleman named Adam who had contacted us via the Contact Placer vehicle on the Letterboxing.org website. Apparently, he had just purchased the property where our Inventor Mystery letterbox resided. His dad, not knowing anything about letterboxing, loaded our letterbox, with the rest of the debris that he had cleaned up, into the back of his pickup truck and left it there. Wanda & Pete were up in VT that weekend also and stopped by to find this box. After a conversation with Adam, the new owner, they must have informed him about this pastime and what a letterbox was.

My email from Adam said he would get in touch with his father and get the letterbox back. He gave me his phone number so we could go up and replant it. He was very excited about hearing of the history of this newly-purchased property and I offered to send that along.

This morning, I received another email from Adam, letting me know that he had replanted the box for me and gave the location! Thanks so much to Adam for rescuing our box and replanting it. Also thanks to Wanda & Pete for beginning this "happy ending" chain of events!
