A couple of years ago delivery of Soaring magazine was getting later and
later into the month, then stopped altogether. For six months I called
the SSA office to get replacement copies sent, then rather vociferously
expressed my frustration to whomever answered the phone that day in
Hobbs. At the beginning of the next month the doorbell range, my letter
carrier handed me the latest issue of Soaring, apologized profusely, and
promised it would never happen again. Indeed, delivery has been pretty
consistent since then (only one or two issues a year go missing).

I'm not sure what happened, perhaps a sorting problem (I sometimes find
a copy of Soaring addressed to another local member, nested inside my
copy), my letter carrier got tired of carrying magazines, or she or
someone in her family is into flying (I also had troubles with delivery
of Air & Space). In any case, a call to the local postmaster might be
in order if delivery problems persist...
