Dear Friends:
Kathryn's wedding to John Harris was completely
beautiful. I will treasure the memory. Kathryn was quite
radiant.
The reception afterwards was a grand affair.
However big affairs and orchestras knock out my hearing aids
but I still enjoyed seeing the action.
Kathryn has appeared to be very interested in my
philosophy. My main hobby in life to help intense people
like Kathryn to live in harmony with their basic nature.
She has a fierce drive and a kind nature. She was designed
for a more protective society. I have tried to tell her
how she can have a long healthy life with a successful
marriage and fine children. I have been helpful to hundreds
of people with my advice.
I am a bachelor. which is ridiculous. However
Sir Francis Bacon in one of his famous essays, tells us that
a society cannot function without some single people.
I worked for sometime for the Veterans Administration.
I was very helpful to many of them.
I have always been a conservationist. At the reception
I happened to sit next to the table where the chef was
cutting the roast beef. He would take a length of beef and
cut off each end and throw it in the garbage. I love those
end pieces, so he gave me a couple. I was brought up to
avoid waste, so I was horrified to see beautiful beef being
wasted. But I could only at so much.
I am delivering 9 jars of special honey. You will find
a note to Kathyrn explaining the honey.
Wishing all of you good health, long life, friendship
a sense of worthiness and the joy of living.
With friendship and admiration.
