Write “Par Avion” on the package, and please pack it full – don’t need anything rattling around that would cause inquiring minds to open a packet. In other words, pack-it in with filler. Filler ideas might include cotton balls, bubblegum . . . surprise me. Declare a low, low value (under $10-$15 U.S.). Please send items to:

Here’s the wish list, and note that I've given-in and am requesting food . . . and cigarettes:

• Rit Dye -- any and all colors . . . as much as possible. The stuff here is horrible and bizarre! Please!
• Flower and vegetable seeds 
• Any old, outdated wall calendars with photos of anything American
• Virginia Slims Lights - NON-Menthol . . . the long 120s. Yes, the 120s.
• Cheap sugar-free drink mix (don't waste money on expensive Crystal-Lite)
• Padded envelopes (that will hold 8 1/2 x 11 paper)
• Dried fruit. Bananas, Craisins, mmmm.
• Polaroid film
• Written or typed letters from you. Please, even a post card. Please don't think that everything must come in a box. I put your cards on my walls.
• Photos, paintings, or illustrations of yourself (and Jill!).

How long before I ask for toilet paper, a generator . . . more cigarettes? We can only speculate.
