100th Success this year

I just recieved in the mail my most recent successes (3) which gives me 100 so far. I appear to be off to my best year in quite some time. Of course I have also sent out 0ver 400 requests (way ahead of my goal of 500 a year).

I am doing much better than last year when I sent only 222 for the entire year and had disappointing results. Of course, no longer being able to work frees up considerable time for my hobby.

Actually 500 requests for a year is only about ten a week and since I will meet that goal by the end of July I think it would be resonable (for someone who is insane) to set the new goal at 750.

Very nice work. 500 a year isn't a bad goal. Years ago I used to shoot for a thousand a year and got that number a few times. It does take time to build a great collection but it's worth it.

Hopefully you do not receive criticism for such a large goal; you know, the whole "quantity vs. quality" debate...I'm right around where you are with 133 successes so far and about 200-something requests sent out.

Since last year I've been working my way through a 900-something person list of astronauts and aviators. I'm down to the last names starting wit 'T' so I'm getting close :) I've heard some comments regarding me sending out so many letters and how I couldn't possibly be a fan of all of them, but I just think it's really important to thank these people personally for serving our country.

What sorts of people do you collect DanaReno?
