That name was familiar. but I had to look him up to be sure. I seldom go to Portland.

One of the three that I've gotten letters from (all in a very distinctive style of window envelope), I never talked to on the phone. Another "cancer committee" that I hadn't heard of before sent something to the same fake name I gave the "volunteer firefighters PAC." All three use p.o. boxes in Waukesha, WI, or a nearby town. I figure it would take someone about an hour to make a round trip from whichever town they're based in, and pick up whatever might be in all three boxes.

I always tell the AI that I "don't do plastic," and they're happy to send out a donation letter so I can mail them a check. I hope they're not holding their breath while they wait for my check to arrive.
