Ct. Traveller found

The Peter J.McGuire " Traveller" was picked up by Lobsta on Thursday
while checking the boxes on the Sleeping Giant. in Hamden Ct. It was
planted in the Metal box of the Oriental Five Elements on Sunday. Lucky
for him that Butterfly and Bluebird were flying by and grabbed it for
the stamp is " one to die " for. We leapfrogged it from Metal to Wood
and off 10 steps behind a tree. Bluebird then flew off with it to the
west . Who knows where she will drop him? I must say that anyone who
gets this stamp in their book in one happy boxer. It is beautiful and
the carving is top of the heap. Aili and Bruce , you did a great job and
we three feel honored to have the image in our books. The way it gets
'planted' is great fun and gives us pause to look around looking for
another spot to plant. How in the world do we count this guy ??
A Happy Butterfly

Count him as you would any hitchhiker. :) Now Bruce is mad at me for
because the stamp overshadowed his story (which is pretty
inspirational too, we think).

Oops, Bruce--sorry about not mentioning the story. I must tell you this.
Lobsta is the one that found the Peter McGuire Traveller. She read and
enjoyed the whole story. Even commented to me how interesting it was.
You did some big research on that one and we do thank you for that.
However to be honest, I glanced at it , a real quick read, [not a
history buff ] and Bluebird flew over it !! We really were excited about
the whole thing and yes, Aili, the stamp is still to die for.!
