--Star Trek is definitely missing! Sorry that you searched in vain. I
won't be back in the area any time soon to replace it. --I am so glad
that Black Angel is still in action (I am embarassed that it is a
store-bought stamp, but I placed that box on a whim and could not
find any carving supplies in town!)

I am glad to hear that Black Angel is still alive too, as I was the one who pressured Amanda into planting it, even though she didn't have her tools on her. I think the angel is kind of cool, and actually looks like something one of us would have carved. I actually did not even want to go near the statue myself in broad daylight as it had a decidedly sinister cast about it - I could feel it from 200 yards away! And I guess it just goes to show that they never clean up around those cemeteries

yes...very creepy as we came over the hill to look
down on it ....all lit up...in the fog....as far as
cleaning the cemetary...there were several beer
bottles and cans we pulled out of the bush before
finding the letterbox...it was the fastest we had
stamped up yet!!

I created a stamp last year to replace the missing one in
Riverside. I just think the future birthplace of Captain Kirk
really needs a stamp.
Too bad I didn't have it out there for you to stamp.
Here's a picture of the image. Maybe you can print it off and tape
it in your book.
