ah, well, it does look like there will be many more! And you are a large part of why!

Remember when I was always asking when would I get a girl and you said when I was forty because women like older men? I said with my luck, i would die at thirty nine! We were both wrong! It happened much earlier! [I know you saw the willing women around me back then... But I did not!] and I am still alive and ticking!

We here have started looking for when we can come up there for a visit. Probably after the summer festival season in September.

In Freedom,
Frank Moore
