[CAUT] Journal Article Thank You! How Fast...

[Amy Porter]

Hi Bert,
Mine was in my mailbox when I returned from Ontario on Jan 2nd.  Typically it takes awhile for them to reach me in Regina...but they usually arrive.  Sometimes I've had to call Home Office because one hasn't arrived...and they make sure I get what I've missed.  They've been really good about that.

                        I'm still waiting for my December 2010 issue.  This has become         ridiculous.  For the last several months now I've been receiving         each month's issue the following month - sometimes as late as the middle         of the month.  Anybody know what's going on with this?
