A Little help - Are you ready for PGCA Research Letters On-Line?

[Brush Buster]

I put my check in the mail at 1:45 This afternoon for a letter on my " NEW CHE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Serial# 144543 Had I only known !!

[Quail1]

I am trying to be a pioneer in this online letter adventure with
my 20 GHE #153105.
I am running into a problem however.
My first attempt indicated that there are records surviving. When I went to the second page, my cursor wouldn't register.
So I went back to the start and after loading my serial number, it said there were not surviving records.
I started back at the beginning, input my serial number, and it indicates again that there are records available, but the cursor wouldn't show to let me fill out my personal information.
Admittedly I stink at this, but I believe I have followed directions to the "T".

HELP???

Oh, I just now reread that you are "about" to roll out.
This explains the poor marks I received in school for the "listens well to directions" and "plays well with others"

I can't wait for this! It looks like it will be slick!

Hi Fred..!

You are a leader among pioneers - as you are trying to get it to work when I haven't set up those links yet - BUT - I applaud your trying!!! You hang on for a bit, OK? And with my thanks!!!

As well - I just checked - and you bet -- when I bring the links on-line, your Parker # 153105 is absolutely a candidate... As well - after I do bring it everything on, if you have any difficulties - I'll be right there to assist you. That's a promise...

My best to you - and my thanks!

The first part was easy as pie!

Proof that if I'm able to do it, ANYONE can.

I will be patient now, but am so excited about this new service.

Thank you very much!

What form will the actual research letter take? Will it look like the letters that have been mailed to us in the past?

Mike - my sincerest thanks right back to you. Yep - I'm also kind of excited to bring this to the Members, so - I guess? The reason for this thread is to get some folks as excited as I am about the possibilities... My thanks to you..!

The delivery is the same as it always has been. I do the on-line submission and payment - reducing the requirements for a letter request. Chuck does the fulfillment. I think you know that already - so my confusion as to your question? Will Chuck do a PDF - if that's what you are asking? You should ask him that - as it's certainly well within his ability - as I discussed the same with him today. Will it "replace" paper letters? In my world, only if that's what the customer wants - or if they want both - as each fits their own need.

Best,

John

I'll add my thanks to John and the BOD for making it possible to do the research letter process on-line. This was not an easy process and caused much debate pro and con on the issue.

You will notice that the research letter form has been revised and has spaces for additional information. This data is helpful in doing your letter so fill the form in with as much info as possible. You can still fill the form electronically or print the form and write in the info. Considering the handwriting of some of the people, please fill in the form electronically (from your keyboard.) You can still fill in the form and send them to me with your check if you wish.

Lastly, there will probably be a big avalanche of online requests in the beginning. I'm asking that you only send 1 request at a time, then wait awhile before submitting another one. When things calm down, it's back to normal.
