Hmm strange, I could have sworn it displayed properly last time... I think/fear they must have done an update...
You're using Tapatalk on a phone, aren't you? Unfortunately it often scrambles the forum posts, images, ...
I posted a simple table (as done before). Better use a "normal" computer and net browser for this if you don't want to read straight HTML.

Hello Christopher,
Apologies accepted, but they weren't needed in the first place. We should thank you for all the things you already have done for APUG.
But before you forward your received print, please read my PM's first!!
Take your time to get things in order and you're always welcome to visit us now and again. And please don't feel bad. APUG is meant to enjoy yourself with others on photography, not to feel obligated at all.
And if you like I can organize the next BPX for you to keep things going while you're away - and if the others don't mind.
I wish you all the best and God's blessings.
I'll say a prayer for you.
Sincerely,
Bert from Holland
Yesterday I received a wonderful print from Jim. The photograph was made inside the mid-19th century Oaklawn Cemetery in Tampa, Florida (USA), which is described as "...the final resting place for 'White and Slave, Rich and Poor.'"
The print came reverse-mounted to a two-tone bevel-cut window mat, and ink-stamped with an ID logo on the backside. There was also an included letter describing much of the local history of this cemetery.
I am especially appreciative when individuals include such background information. Personally I think it makes looking at photographs far more interesting when one knows some of the context surrounding them.
The print is titled Tree Person, and the subject is a marvelously foreshortened study of what appears to be an ancient oak tree set amongst a group of equally ancient ornate fenced family-style burial plots. I have always been a fan of straight ahead direct studies that make use of shapes, forms and tones. This photograph qualifies, in my opinion.
The overlapping vertical headstones lie underneath, and are dominated by, the overarching oak tree. The tree itself begins with a tremendously stout trunk, then filigrees out in fractal precision until the eventually microscopic branches and leaves literally vanish into the skylight.
It's a striking blend of strength and delicacy. And sobering to think that the tree itself may quite literally be an aggregation of all who rest beneath it, thus perhaps giving a literal physical expression to the declaration 'White and Slave, Rich and Poor'.
Thanks, Jim. Very much appreciate your time and effort.
Any chance a scan might be available for posting?
Ken
(Note to Bert: I am now both SENT and RECEIVED, and thus complete for this round.)
I sent a PM on 4/11 to the recipient. I haven't heard anything.
Roll on the next one!
So late my charge will get two prints... Bert, do you have the actual list?? A certain person has been the private messaging me so much that I can't find the actual information for the person I'm supposed to ship it to....
Can you PM me??

I've sent a PM to last six persons to send a print in this BPX-19, asking what their status is and when they expect to send their print.
I'll keep you all posted.
