Oh good then, your post made me all 'a flustered' and re-read my
posting on the geocaching site BIG SMOKE cache - I am thinking, well
now being a geek sometimes I do come on a bit strong so lets
see ..gee I was trying to be nice, but I did put a angry face next
to the comment about combining the boxes. but on the other hand I
used the magic please word and offered to pay postage...so ha ha Oh
well to update you all on lost little fox: a person did contact me
perhaps it was earth moma but I am not sure, here is what I recieved
but since this I have responded back (politely I think) and I have
heard nothing again so far...

We are a little confused by your request. Can't remember a "Island
Fox Stamp" but asume it was in one of the Catalina caches. We are
searching through our stuff and hope to come up with it. Our house
is a bit dissorganized at present and the stamp could have got mixed
in with any of several groups of clutter.
