Dear Marion
Could you send me a copy of the paragraphs that you wrote to Gerry
Christmas.
I would like to see what he is talking about - sounds interesting
Hope that you are well. I am not after 6 weeks in the hospital - struggling
but no need to go into detail - this my 1st day back on the Net in a week -
gaining strength.
Best
John
