Me, "Yes....(with a quivver) why, yes, I did!"
Gleda, "OK, then I remember your orders."
MY GAWD!!! That was 40 years ago and she remembered my orders!

Unique address or not, considering the thousands of orders, that's amazing. Especially when she connected you with it out of the blue. It's easy to see that she was a big part of the hobby's success.
