Kim in MD
Posted for Teena The 2003 Specialty Ways and Means is trying to locate a Kim in or near Cumberland, MD. She sent a money order for one of our beautiful (a small editorial) tapestry puppy pillows and failed to sign and address the order. There's no return address on the envelope, either. The only thing I know is she mailed it from Cumberland. So, if anyone knows who this is, please let me know as soon as possible. Also, include her phone number so I can check to see if this is the right person. Thanks for your help, Teena [EMAIL PROTECTED]
