Antonio Banderas RTS

Used 622 3rd Avenue, 8th floor database address in New York; marked RETURNED and stamped returned to sender. Took three weeks.

Is there a better address?

I sent an LOR/index card/SASE and a printout pic to the great Michael Berryman from sci-fi/horror fame, and he sent me the following: the printout signed with a long, personalized note; the index card signed and personalized; my letter signed with a note; and an 8x10 signed color "X-files"...

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi...success!!! (Nicole Polizzi)

Re: Operation Autograph...year 13! - HS assignment

Hey, how was Rusty Greer in terms of replying to requests? He was great when I sent him stuff. I remember his response coming back relatively quickly. He was still an active player then, and he'll always be a HUGE fan favorite here in the metroplex. Rusty played the way the game should be played......

Re: Operation Autograph...year 13! - HS assignment

We are up to 27 WNBA responses, with five rejection letters, all from the Indiana Fever players.

Re: Operation Autograph...year 13! - HS assignment

Coincidentally enough, I started autograph collecting because it was a class project many, many ages ago when I was in second or third grade. That's great to hear. I think it is so much better to teach them in creative ways, rather than just handing the kids a worksheet. If we think back to our fav...
