Hello
Old Friend,
I
noticed in the last letter you sent, the one with the photograph, you are
again letting your beard grow. I
remember the last time you had it you said it was too much to take care of. You were always trimming and fussing with it,
whatever made you want to have it back again?
And what’s with the car? Is that
yours? When did you get that? It looks nice; a little small perhaps, but
nice. Somehow I can’t picture Alice fitting in there
with you. Will she even ride in it?
It’s
a little quiet around here now that Larry has gone back to school. He’s changed his major again, says he wants
to get a degree in understanding. I’ve
never heard of such a thing. I always thought understanding was just something
you did or didn’t do, you know, like – “I understand what you mean.” How can someone get a degree in catching on
to what someone else is talking about? I
don’t get it, but he showed it to me in the catalog. At least his spirits picked up. He was really down after the Wild Animal
Park fired him for that
snake enclosure deal. They should have
never put him in charge of that. Last I
heard there are still 40 or so missing.
Did
you ever get the wind chimes I sent?
They should have been there by now.
When they do get there be sure to open the box outside. They may need to air out a bit longer for the
smell to be completely gone. Nancy really likes the
ones I made for her. The only problem is
the neighborhood dogs. They come by and
try to jump up and bite them.
Not
much has changed around the office except they tried to cancel everyone’s
vacation because they are so far behind on the Wilson project. Two people left anyway. They said they had already paid for their
airline and hotel and because it was a no refund deal they told the boss too
bad they were going, and they did. Now
we’re all wondering what will happen when they get back. Everyone thinks they’ll fire Hobbs , but let Ted get away with it. They never have been happy with Hobbs and that’s a good
excuse to let him go. Ted is the one I
told you about before. He’s the fishing
guy; you know – designed and patented his own style fishing rod. He’s got his two sons making them in the
garage and his wife and daughter have a web site set up to sell them. He says as soon as he retires he is going to
open his own store. It’s all he ever
talks about.
OK
Foscoe, I better wrap this up for now. Thanks again for sending the photo. Maybe once Larry graduates we will be able to
afford to travel again. We can head out
your way or meet someplace in the middle. Take care and say Hi to Alice .
Your
Old Pal

Great Letter! I know a few people who could also benefit from class in understanding.
