An Unexpected Exchange

Last Saturday, The Lazy Letterboxer & The Letterboxing Ham, Sue & I attended Letterboxer2002's Trail Days Gather in Danbury, CT. While the attendance was small, some 15 boxers at most, it was a great time in a more cozy atmosphere than some recent mega gatherings. Great to see old friends. As we headed out to find some boxes, two women walked by on their way to the main table. One of the women looked very familiar, sporting a Nancy Drew t shirt, but she would had to have been from such a far distance that I just threw the idea out of my head.

On the final box before heading back to the gathering, we noticed an Atlas Quest mini pencil in the box and it all made sense! Not the pencil - but the woman who caught my attention! It was Amanda from Seattle! So as soon as we reached the gather location, I walked up and introduced Sue & I and we exhanged and spend some time talking. She handed me a baggy filled with some of those Atlas Quest pencils and said Ryan had sent them for us. Look for these pencils in CT in a box near you as the summer progresses - we may even sprinkle the Michigan area with some!
