NASA PUB.157 GIVE-A-WAY NEARING END

[Carole Lisa Albyn <ALBYN@LPI.JSC.NASA.GOV>]

Hi! I decided to signon and see what's going on on the LM_NET for a
few days while I'm finishing off with my mail out to you good people in
the schools.  Wow this is some busy list.  I am especially interested
in your mulitcultural exchange of information since I coauthored a book
entitled * The Multicultural Cookbook for Students * with Lois Webb.
If anyone has any great recipes to share from non-western countries please
send them my way!  I'm always interested in this topic.

But now down to business.  I still have a few copies of Our solar system:
a geologic snapshot to give away.  Please do not cross post this message
anywhere. Folks new to this net let me recap: send a 9X12" non-first class
self addressed envelope to me Carole Albyn, LPI, 3600 Bay Area Blvd. Houston
Texas 77058-1113. Put .66 cents worth of postage on it, and I will mail a
NASA booklet,(has 48 pages, blk&wht photos), to you. You must do this right
away if you want it because my cut off is Oct. 31.  I will process any requests
sent until about the 7th of November because that will get even the requests
sent on Oct. 31 library rate a chance to arrive.

I have had fun reading all the notes, and seeing all the different schools
requesting the material.  If you requested a book, and it hasn't arrived,
and you think it has had enough time to arrive then there is perhaps a
problem somewhere. I do have a stack of "problems" that I need to tend to.
They include mostly wrong size envelopes, not enough postage, no postage, and
the like.  My favorite envelope - a young man sent me an envelope stapled
together, which when opened became his 9X12" envelope. I thought, gosh this
guy was smart, he saved an envelope by just folding his 9X12 in half and
mailing that.  However when I opened it, no stamps, it was just marked .66.
Oh well, you can't win them all. I've got lots of stories,
but I'll share my miracle story with you. My husband, who works at the
Johnson Space Center, brought home an evelope one day and asked if I knew
anything about this. It was an request addressed to Albyn, NASA, Houston.
Indeed it was a miracle it arrived.  I thought, for sure if they can't
address something correctly the return envelope won't be fixed with stamps
and addressed correctly, but it was!
