I wrote a check and printed out a form earlier this week, but hadn't had a chance to mail it out. Now I will just wait til the on line is ready to roll. Very cool stuff!

John---Great job !!!

With the use of PayPal comes a litany of behind the scenes reconciliations to keep the accounting in separate files so as the proper account is credited for business reporting to the BOD ,etc. The process took a little back and forth between the BOD and the volunteers ,but it will all come out in the positive in the final version. As time goes on and additional uses are revealed with the use of PayPal---the cheese will become a little more binding and help will become necessary from people with better knowledge and time than I have to dedicate to the PGCA.

I want everyone on this forum to realize NONE of this would have come to fruition without the intelligence and knowledge of John Dunkle with his willingness to make the PGCA web site better. Believe me, it takes a lot of thought and effort to make it all come together.

Thanks again John

I'm a little overwhelmed by the kind words by all.. Simply - thank you!!

As well - I've posted a "Quick Guide" and instructions here:
On-Line Research Letter Requests - Quick Guide & how To

I'll be adding a longer version with illustrations later today - but, I know a few want to get started...

Again - my thanks!

Voila!

I believe that I have just ordered my first Parker letter,
for my GHE 20 #153105
I have just now received confirmation from Paypal that they
have deducted funds.
The most pleasing bill that I have paid in a long time!

This was beyond easy.

Thank you very much Mr. Dunkle

Fred - you are terrific! I've already forwarded your Letter Request on to Chuck - so, it apparently is much faster than the US Postal Service, too! ;)

Again - simply - my thanks to you and all for the assist on this feature.. It's very appreciated!!

- John

FYI, I'm not giving priority to either mailed or online letter requests. I do my best to do the letters in the order I receive them.

John Dunkle 02-28-2015 04:13 PM

Well put... And thanks Chuck!

Hmmm - the e-mail requests do arrive faster than those sent by USPS, tho..? ;)

HA!

JD This is awesome! Thank you to John Dunkle and the board for getting this done. Wonderful job everyone.....:bowdown:

John, I know you were the point of the spear on this project and I thank you for all you do on a daily basis.

John Dunkle 03-01-2015 06:03 PM

I wanted to thank all of you for the incredible support, comments and - well - for a number of you, giving the system a try..!

In short?

It works as I'd hoped - so thank you!

Tomorrow, for those of you who have PMed me asking - I'll try to get the on-line system up and running for all the folks who aren't yet PGCA Members, OK? I'm still struggling with a little piece of coding for you folks (it has to do with the permission trees and tying into MySQL tables directly - so, PGCA Members can't use your forms or see your questions - just in case you wanted to know..?! ;) ) - but, pretty sure I can make it work..

Again - my best and thanks to all,

John
