Nancy Drew, Where Are You

You'd think 6,000 missing catalogs would be hard to lose. But a press release from The Adult School of Montclair says it happened and the catalogs mysteriously disappeared after they were last seen at the Post Office.

Here's more on the mystery...

Executive director, Lisa Redburn and her staff have been searching for the missing catalogs since February 1. They were delivered, as usual, to the Newark Post Office at the end of January, but never made it to the other out of town post offices. No one in charge of delivery appears to know the whereabouts of the missing books. The Adult School of Montclair, dedicated to offering a splendid array of courses to students throughout the area, is dismayed that the new class descriptions have not found their way to registrants.

Oddly enough, I did receive a copy in the mail. Fortunately, you can view the catalog and register right here. If you like to see a hard copy, local town libraries have the catalog; you can also pick one up at the Adult School office located in Montclair High School on the first floor of the main building between 10am and 3pm. Anyone who has any information that might solve the mystery of the missing catalogs is encouraged to call the Adult School office (973)746-6636 ASAP. Who knows -- there may be a reward involved, or at least a free class.

Meanwhile, remember this gal? She's teaching this class.

After hours on the phone with various postal workers and supervisors it was great to see this piece. I finally laughed.

I did receive my Adult School catalog but almost threw it away. I was tossing all the supermarket fliers and other bulk mail stuff that comes every Friday into the recycling. I usually just throw them all in at once. This time for some reason, I looked at them one by one, noticed that one was unusually heavy, opened it up and there was my AS catalog wedged in there pretty tightly.
