Thanks, John. Evidently this is the case. I was told by our mailing service that 3-4 weeks was the norm, but I am going to have to speak to the Post Office about this to find out more. Evidently 6-7 weeks is closer to reality.
Speaking generally, another solution would be to prepare the issues earlier and mail them out earlier so they reach everyone when we want them to. In other words, mail out the Winter issue in December so it reaches everyone by the end of January. That is doable, now that I know what is happening with the mail.
So, I apologize to everyone for the slow mule-train delivery of your journals, and will try to speed things up a little by getting the next issue out a little sooner and allowing 6-7 weeks, instead of 3-4 weeks, for it to reach you. Then, before the next year's cycle begins in the fall, maybe we can have the deadlines advanced a little on the calendar so the delivery becomes a little more predictable.
You all are too nice--you should have complained sooner!

Hi Tim,
For what it's worth, I got my issue yesterday. I think the 3-4 week estimate is a bit optimistic. It is a terrific issue, by the way--my sincerest congratulations to all involved!

Fellow ATEGers,
The Winter issue of the ATEG Journal was mailed out 6-7 weeks ago. It should take no longer than 3-4 weeks to reach you. All of you who are subscribers (which means whose memberships are current) should have received your copy at least 3 weeks ago, if not sooner.
Dave Sawyer is our treasurer and provides me with a mailing list each time it is time to mail out a new issue. If you think your membership is current but you have not yet received your copy of the Winter issue, I need to hear from you so I can check your name against the list Dave gave me. Then I can pass these names on to Dave so he can check his list and make corrections or at least see what the problem is. It may be that some have inadvertently allowed their memberships to lapse and need to pay their dues; it could be some other problem. But whatever it is, we need to find out. We don't want you waiting for weeks and weeks and not be receiving your journal.
So, if this applies to you, email me immediately and let's get this problem corrected. In the meantime, I will mail you a copy of the journal (we have some extra copies this time) so you can be enjoying it. Kathleen's book review IS in this issue, and she needs to see it (you do too--it is very well done).

Subject: no ABET Journal
We've been having an interesting series of discussions--now for the
boring stuff.
I've never received the latest ABET Journal. (Full disclosure: I have
a book review that was supposed to be in it and I am interested in
seeing if it got there.)
Has everyone else received his/her/their copies? Is there anyone in
charge of distribution?
Thanks!
