Hi Bev,

So sorry to hear of your mom's passing. But you've been a real trooper. You were the best daughter ever. I can't imagine losing my mom, yet I know it will happen soon.

So we both started our "careers" at the student newspaper! Let's see--if it's west of the Alleghenies, it must be Miami of Ohio? I have about ten years on you though.

You're a "funny girl." I love the way you look at things and how they flow on the page. Just keep going. You're wanted.
