You were in My 7th grade homeroom. You sat in the first row about five or four seats towards the back of the room as I remember it. You also appeared at the emergency room at Bellevue hospital when I was there one day. Nothing serious. I didn't introduce myself. You were too busy. And it would have taken too long to e xplain. But now I have all the time in the world, too bad you don't remember me

I sat by the window at the front of the room
Enjoy

Congratulations on your retirement. I trust it will be very productive and enjoyable. Maybe one day we can spend time together, again.

Have a. Great birthday. My sister Alice died in Feb. I am still in mourning. But life in Chicago is very nice. In synk with my personality needs. And not that cold. Just not enough sun. I take extra vitamin D3. How are you and the freak neck crew? And your brother?
