2009 Medallion orders placed so far:

[OldDan]

GUESS WHAT I GOT! I brought home a very HEAVY package from the post office this evening and it was postmarked from Colorado. That's the only hint you get!

Wasn't that nice of Pat. I think she sent you Gary's ashes to be placed in state at the castle.

NOW DO YOU THINK THAT IS REALLY IN THE BOX

        SOON ONLY THE SHADOW WILL KNOW

   I am preparing bubble mailers at this moment and do want each of you to know I have refunded CoinCrusader's payment for the medallions which he ordered. The refund will go with his order to our Mountain Lady as a gift from each of us here at KOTCT. The moderators approved the move a couple of weeks ago so I thought I should share it with each of you.
Michelle (Gary's daughter) has expressed her and her families thanks for our efforts and kindness shown over the past couple of weeks and are looking forward to the memorial project we have undertaken. They will be purchasing medallions for each member of the Burke family and I have assured them we will work with them on their needs.
   The Burke family members who are members of this forum will be receiving their medallions as gifts from KOTCT as they have been donated by many of the Knights and Knigtesses who were honored to call Gary Burke our friend and mentor.
   I will keep you posted as we move forward in this quest.

It has been a few hours since I was last online so I am very proud to announce I am ABOUT done packaging up 2009 medallions for shipment. Need three boxes for larger orders and I am done. Most of the orders will go out in the mail Monday with the larger going Tuesday and Wednesday. The dragons are about to take flight around the world! (sure hate to see the silver ones go though!)

I was kinda anticipating this, so I arranged for another US based Knight to be ready with a crowbar to prise them out of your grasp.   He should arrive at your place soon.  Be on the lookout for a Shining White Knight on a white charger.

I can't wait to see the Medals!

Saturday evening update: ALL 2009 Medallions which are paid in full will ship MONDAY! I am caught up!!!!

All others will be shipped when payment arrives.

[ElleKitty]

So if they ship Monday, what day will they make it into our mailboxes?    Thursday, Friday?

[Twoshadows]

That will be up to the Pony Express (here in the states) and Burkes Turtle Service for the rest of the world. I am anxious to see who gets theirs first and who manages to post the first photo here in the castle. And, a little later, we will see which of our foreign Knights or Knightesses get theirs first. YES HUMPYBONG you have to send them on!!!

[Merlin]

It is with great pleasure I stop in to the KOTCT Castle on this day. Once again the Knights and Knightesses of Castle KOTCT have done that which cannot be done. A small group with large hearts and an open mind can travel far. For this I raise my mug and staff to each of you.
You have chosen, yet again, to go forth on another quest in honor of one who has passed. This says much about each of you and the Knight which you have chosen not to forget. May your efforts quickly bear fruit as their are those who loved this man as a husband, father,grandfather and friend who will hold that which you have forged forever in their hands and their hearts. I salute you.
Now I go off to watch from a distance, as I always do,  hoping you will travel wisely in your endeavors never fearing the darkness of night. Keep the flame burning and others will come to your light.

THE DRAGONS HAVE BEEN SET FREE to soar around the world. THEY are coming now!

[Nevol]

Excellent news!    I can't wait to hold my first 'Dragon'! 

[Twoshadows]

It could be interesting seeing who gets theirs first. At least three of the larger packages to the states had to go insured and priority mail for obvious reasons. I was also FORCED to ship the large package to Australia by Priority Mail so Humpybong get ready its on its way! Also, I might mention, all the Aussies orders are in individual bubble mailers awaiting Humpybongs return address and postage. They are already packaged and sealed Humpy! How's that for service? I really don't see the U.S. packages, that shipped first class mail taking longer than Friday to reach their destinations. Looking forward to the officail "Dragon Sightings" that should come in starting Wednesday.

You may have forgotten that those going to Texas have to pass through customs first, and you know how that can be. Better add a couple of days for these, don't you think.

I received a package this morning from the US, posted Apr 12 in Rehoboth Beach De 19971, 8 days is pretty good, (but it's really only 7) so that's even better.
