Greetings and Good Morning Karen,
To date I have been totally unsuccessfull in uploading photos to site. Cannot post,paste etc my pic on my page and cannot upload files containing NG material.
May I ask for instructions.Specifically how did you do that? Seems I may not be the only 1.Most likely a result of my lack of IT knowledge. :)
Respectfully,
Andy Johnson

Respectfully,
AJ

Hi Karen,

you mention that you like wolves and dogs...so you must have particularly enjoyed the "From Wolf to Woof" article of January 2002? My family and I are huge dog lovers. Do you have the "Book of Dogs" also"?

Yes -- have a large poster-like picture in my office from that article "From Wolf to Woof" as well as one from a wolf story NGS did in the 1980s of an Arctic wolf. Also have the "Book of Dogs."

I just found this group. I like it! I have an extensive collection of National Geographic magazines, books and epheremia, including an original, unbound copy of Vol. 1, No. 1 from 1888. It literally have boxes of the stuff including 8mm flims, vinyl records, school bulletins from the 50-60s. I even started a website for NG collectors about 10 years ago that was shut down by the NG legal department :)

I am currently on a trip around the world so I can't collect at the moment, but I will be sure to return.

Hi Karen,

Have you ever seen a misprinted cover like this one? I put it on the discussion corner, but thought I would ask you as well.

Thanks for the info,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Karen forwarded your message to me. I will take a look at our archives file and see if there is any information about a misprint.

Best wishes,

Cathy Hunter

Hi Chris,

I checked the old project file this morning and it appears there were quite a few issues with trying to get that cover to look right. In your case, it looks like a misregister, which is where the hologram image was not positioned precisely in front of the striker plate. A decision was made to reduce the trim size in order to bring down the estimated percentage of misregisters, but it still may have been around 10%.

Hello Karen!

It's been awhile.... I have a link to a story for you. I recall we chatted about our love of dogs in the past, so that is why I thought of you. April 14/15 is the 98th anniversary of the TITANIC sinking, and this is about the dogs that were on board.

Here: http://swtimes.com/features/article_8c351072-463a-11df-9468-001cc4c03286.html?mode=story


take care,

Scott S.

Hi Karen!

 

Well, tonight and tomorrow is the 135th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Hail the gold & purple, ha-ha. There's 6 "new" breeds included for the first time this year.

Will you be able to watch any of it? Happy new year 2011 to you.
