MAIL

For some reason we were having difficulty with the Post Office. Some stuff they delivered, but much was returned. Then they put a form in my mailbox (in Japanese of course) that Eric took to the translators. They said "Where did you get this form?" He told them it was delivered in our mailbox. It was a form for permission to deliver mail to those in our house. The ironic thing is that they addressed it to Eric Patton. The translators thought this very weird. So we filled it out and turned it in. Still no mail. Then Eric's translator called the post office. They said they needed to send someone out to see if we were really who we said we were. The translators said they'd never seen this happen before. Well, after two more phone calls the post office decided they didn't need to do this. So long story short is we are supposed to be getting mail now. To be safe though, I would mail any envelopes to our house in Marysville, Boeing will forward them to us (letters/cards only). Takes a bit longer (1 week-10days) but is much cheaper and guaranteed to get to us. Sorry for the trouble. Any packages must be mailed to our Japanese address: Greenfield B, 2-801 Kifune, Meito-Ku Nagoya, 465-0058

My apologies to those who mailed stuff to us and had it returned.
