Hi guys! Just for the record there were 305 entries from all over the globe. My
wife ( with our dog watching) closed both eyes and reached into a large plastic
container containg 305 numbered slips of paper wich corresponded to the 305
numbered e-mail entries we received.
She drew three numbers in case the first person could not be reached via e-mail.
We would then contact number two and three if needed. First number person was
contacted via e-mail in Belgium and responded in several hours. That person's
packaged jacket will be in the U.S. Mail winging its way over there starting
tomorrow (Monday)
Also for the record, our first give away winner and now the third winner have
never been customers. Our second winner had ordered once before winning. Luck of
the draw!
Gee, you have problems even giving stuff away here! Paul.
