Re: " Oh, and just FYI, Brent Fullard, the protagonist of "don't blame us

member. Hank,your turn."
At the risk of this coming off like someone with an "Inferiority complex",
(according to James Rice, a uniquely Canadian affliction), I would suggest
that James P. Rice get his facts straight, ONCE AGAIN. I am a paid up
member of CORSA, having joined in October 2009 at the cost of US$49.00,
representing a $4.00 premium for Canadians.
Otherwise, why would I have begun receiving the Communique for each of
October, November, and December?
I am however still waiting to receive the complementary CORSA T Shirt that
was promised to new members who joined in 2009 or those who haven't been
members in the last three years. I was last a member in 2001.
Perhaps James Rice would like make amends for this obvious error about my
membership status, by tracking that missing T Shirt down for me.
You can send it via US Post to my home address that is on file at CORSA
world headquarters.
Failing that, a simple apology would suffice.
Thank you in advance.
