By mailing Telescope directly from our printer, we had hoped to save the extra few days that it took to get the magazine back to Detroit and mail it ourselves. However, due to problems with the post office, most of you received your copy well into February. In the future, we hope that by mailing it directly from the printer will enable you to receive your copy the following week that it is mailed.
