NOTES:
I had tried BJ a few times already without any luck- even delaying posting his original post for a few months hoping I’d get a success back, but no dice. Every once in a while I pull out my stack of failures that were RTSed by the mailman and go through them. I decided to take a closer look at Daniels’ address. I knew he worked at USF but the address was off by just a bit, so I tweaked it and tried again. A bit over two months later he sent me back the autographs and a really nice note on USF stationary thanking me for being a fan.
