I recall seeing something on Maps-L about a month ago concerning
problems claiming maps from USGS and not being able to reach Dave Szarsi
at USGS.  I don't recall, however, seeing any response.  Does anyone
have an alternative contact at USGS for inquiries about depository
shipments?  Has anyone received any maps that they have claimed?

I discovered a few weeks ago when I returned from vacation that we had
received maps on shipping list 2005-06-TQ.  When I went to the web site
to get the shipping list I discovered that we had missed receiving
shipments 2005-05-TQ and 2005-07-TQ.  At closer inspection I discovered
that 05 and 07 seem to be duplicate shipments.  Has anyone received both
05 and 07?

I just wanted to confirm with Dave that these are duplicate shipments,
and if so, that we only need to claim one set.  I claimed a single map
back in June and never received a response, so now I'm wondering if they
are even responding to claims.

Dave was real responsive when I talked to him the last time.  I'm
surprised he's not answering the phone.

Does anyone have insight as to what's going?
