Well, this was a nice email to wake up to:

NCJ, Distribution of your weekly publication has reached all the way to Helmand Province, Afghanistan. I enjoyed the special “Best of Humboldt” edition and look forward to getting some of those APD fries when I get home soon. Keep up the great work. My father sent me the issue in a care package. His name is Dr Wendell Schautz of Eureka Chiropractic Office. Nothing in the picture is confidential. Share as you wish. Thanks, Max Schautz

Thank you, Max.

  1. My son has been “deployed” three times. Once to Iraq, twice to Afghanistan. You can sent a package using the United States Postal Service Priority Mail Flat Rate Box. ($13.45) Takes about a week. Overnight to Afghanistan? Don’t think so. I put a copy of the latest NCJ in every package I sent him… A touch of home it is.

  2. A couple years ago our elementary school sent letters and a gift certificate to Toni’s #1 in Arcata to an alumnus of the school. (He was scheduled to return a few months later.)

    At some level I felt silly because, while we waited for weeks for the package to arrive, I was able to communicate with the guy daily via e-mail and Facebook.

  3. Maybe the NCJ can sent him some fucking SPAM….. let me save you the trouble Herldo “Brian Connors PL tragedy/causality.
