Did you know that the state of Rhode Island has actually has the longest name of any state. The official name is Rhode Island and the Providence Plantations. Governor Raimondo only took 16 days to return the cards and she also sent some other cool stuff. She sent two books, one a cool coffee table book about the state house and the other comparing Rhode Island to each of the other states. She also enclosed a nice big calling card. All other governors will have to go a long way to beat this return. Next week, the Governor of the Blues Brothers state.

Great card and congrats on the auto. Fun post and I learned stuff.
Wow, that's a heck of a TTM return!
Never heard of her, but that was a pretty solid return! Wonder if the taxpayers of Rhode Island had to foot the bill for the shipping on that book?
I guess she was pretty darn impressed with the custom card you created for her... and rightfully so. You did an awesome job!
