Subject: NEW Jasper Alumni Directory
I received a call this past Sunday from the firm, Publishing Concepts, LP, to verify my information for the New Directory. Two things:
1) they asked to verify my email address. They asked if my @alum.manhattan.edu address was my address was still the one I wanted registered in the book. I said yes, even though I have changed e-mail providers and don’t get any mail sent to that address anymore. I’m hoping that HQ will correct this down the line but I’m not hopeful. The person collecting the information was pleasant but did not have much knowledge of whether or not there would be an online community. which brings me to;
2) the first package offered to me for my own copy of the directory was $500. and included nice things like a Manhattan coffee mug and a “high quality” ballpoint pen! anyway, I waited for the price of the book alone, two easy payments of $59. $118! I told them no and will wait for it to come out in paperback ; )
Keep up the good work John!

[JR: Thanks. I gather you are less than pleased with the offerings? :-) I wonder how much ... sigh, not that it matters.]
