We apologize for the delivery problems with the Fall 2022 Bulge Bugle issue. Our printer delivered the inventory of magazines to the post office right on schedule on December 5, and the magazines seem at that point to have departed this sphere for a different dimension. We have worked diligently with the post office to try to figure out what happened and locate the copies. However, the post office has been only minimally cooperative and seems helpless to deal with a lost delivery.

Theoretically, this should have been impossible. Our mailing service attached bar codes to all the magazines, which meant the postal service should have been able to locate them with a few keystrokes. We will continue to pursue this, but we are not optimistic.

Meanwhile, all members with an e-mail on file have received an electronic copy via the December e-blast that was sent. We are also providing a link here for easy access. We know this is not the same but it does at least give members a copy to page through. All BOBA members continue to have access to our most recent issues (via link provided in member e-blasts) as well as everyone has access to further back issues going back to 1982 on our website.

A second printing is cost prohibitive, however several board members have made generous contributions to underwrite a small quantity to deliver to as many veteran members as possible. Also, to avoid future problems, we are changing our process to deliver to a different postal location. Again, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your continued support and understanding.
