Dear Clarence:
I appreciated your dr driving me to dinner.
I enjoyed you company and Thelma Howard was happy about you
and the party.
I may have left you with a misunderstanding. I played
bridge with Thelma and her late boy friend, Robert Fulton
a descendant the Robert Fulton of steamboat fame. I also
ate with them at Masonic dinners. Also at the Elks club.
This was over the past 25 years. This was the first time I
had ever taken her anywhere. In all that time, I never
heard her say or do anything mean. She has a good sense
of humor.
She is a good worker and organizer. She is treasurer of the
condominium where she lives. She appears to run the place.
She put on elegant bridge parties at her home.
I have been under a lot of stresses for some time but I am
glad to be alive.
You are also living through stressful times. You have
employees and customers to worry about. We all miss the
sense of community which is part of human nature.
I will be thinking of you. I expect that you had a great
time with your daughter and family in Toronto.
With Friendship and admiration
