Please put your thinking caps on!
Approximately four years ago, on an Annual St. Jude Auction, I posted an offer for a unique coffee cup that was formed with half a Moose sticking outside both sides of it (As if the Moose had run into, and through, it, and was trying to push on through. It drew a lot of attention and some number of bids. The winner was very pleased to be top bidder, and sent me a nice message afterwards. However, though he would not let me reimburse him, he had to tell me it got broken in transit. He insisted it was for a good cause, and packed well, so he would not hear of me refunding even his bid. I thanked him profusely, telling him I had never seen another like it before or after, but assured him that if I ever did, I would do my best to obtain it and send it to him.
Today, I finally found another just like it. Now I realize that, though I keep everyone in my (huge) Rolodex, and have notes on their cards of items won, sent, received, etc - BUT they are all filed alphabetically by actual last names only. Naturally, my memory being spotty at best, I cannot for the life of me remember who the member was, by either name or handle. and I'd probably play heck trying to spot it among all those cards by the abbreviated item names I use.
If either he, or anyone remembers anything about this bid, win, and (unfortunate) loss. Please post and help me find him to finally fill his generous bid. Please remember, once I get a name, I will be able to verify the win by his card. I appreciate any help on this possible good outcome.
I am so tickled to have found this replacement, I can hardly believe it. If I don't find the proper member, I will place this unique item on the St. Jude Auction again this year, Good Lord willing, for new bids (best I can do - IMO)
