I can understand that.  When your pal doesn't even acknowledge your packages
than you don't even know that she got them.  Puts you through a lot of 
needless
worry.

Thanks Tami!  Anne McCreary talked this over and the exchange is stopped.
I can't add another exchange to my platter right now, but if someone else
wants to take over the Secret Pal exchange they may do so with my blessings.
I am afraid that the way the coordinator dropped the ball on this exchange
has hurt many people who really haven't been in many exchanges before and 
for this I am truly sorry.
Later!,
           Pat
