Hi Wen,
I know that it looks like shill bidding, but I have some doubts, as no one in their right
mind would use the same name in their email address to shill bid, this looks a little to
obvious. Might be a stalker trying to get them Narued. Enjoy your treasure. Send
them a thank you on prompt delivery and condition.
It would be a shame if they did have a family emergency, were out of town, and
arranged for someone to ship the item to you. I know I can read my email on line from
any on line computer, or they could have had relative or friend watch emails. Think the
best and enjoy.

Thank you, Diana!
Makes you wonder what their storyline meetings consist of, doesn't it? I mean--- a small town gets wind (or would that be Wend? ) of a story of a former and late editor's daughter bidding on an item that she has the corresponding UPI wire from their office... you'd think they might find it compelling! At the very least, you'd think they might find it in their hearts to answer. Dad worked there for over 15 years and was the editor for most of that time.
Can't thank you enough, though, for going out of your way for me. I'm still doing my happy dance to have the paper!
