Tom McCarriston in NH, one of our EFV-8 Club photographer's, just told me he received his Nov/Dec copy yesterday, February 3rd. So I told him I'd add him to the list

Still patiently waiting for mine. But I must admit the patience is running a bit thin!

OK So received the Nov/Dec last week and then the Jan/Feb this week! Since I have two expensive photo adds in Nov/Dec, My adds got about 2 weeks coverage before Obsoleted! The USPS has cheated me, and the rest of the advertisers. Newc

Actually, you are the victim of circumstances, specifically the mail "crunch" brought on by the confluence of the Covid-19 pandemic and the holiday season. The EFV8 club has taken advantage of a particular feature of the USPS that allows them to save a bunch on postage during ordinary times. It has worked to everyone's advantage for many years, but has proven unsatisfactory in these uncertain times.

It's like the old saying : "When I am right, no one remembers; when I am wrong, no one forgets".

Tubman you are correct. Saving on postage is the reason there has not been a dues increase in V-8 Club dues for many years.

I just have to say the V-8 Times is a very favorite car publication - right up there with Hemmings. Worth every penny of the club dues just for the articles and photos! When the Times arrives I head for the recliner for an intensive read

The big question or problem is who takes over as editor?

Seth, nobody has taken over at this time. Jerry is just looking for candidates to back him up in the event something happens. It's called a "disaster plan". All of us are getting older and it's a good idea to have someone who can take over at a moments notice in the event that the existing person could have a medical issue, become incapacitated, or even pass away suddenly. The big step is finding someone who has the skills that Jerry has developed over the years and that person can take over at a moments notice. Also if Jerry feels the need to retire that person can slide right into the job and nobody will even miss an issue of the Times.

Sounds like a good idea to have a succession plan. I would miss having the magazine every other month.
