Hello Folks:

Thanks for all the inspiration, it is doing me wonders I can tell you, I feel like a little schoolgirl!!!!!

Frances so happy for you that things are going well, great going!! More power to you!!

BTW, Frances, the festival/show was to see our fave artist, I know he liked him, but I think he was very surprised to see me there cause he had no idea I liked the same artist. When we met there at the show, I told him that he was the inspiration for me in exploring this artists repertoire, he seemed very happy about that.

John thanks for giving me the go ahead, I am shy, but I am also a very direct person, I call things as they are.

Okay so I decided to do a rough draft of the letter last night, here goes, see what you think.

Hi again:
Okay here's a rough draft of the letter so far, tell me what you think??

Firstly, I hope the enclosed reached the intended recipient, if not my sincerest apologies, please disregard.
(Do I really need to include that, I am pretty sure it is the correct address, I do not want to phone his house to make sure, what if he answers???)

Dear X

Hope this day finds you well!

Thought I would drop you a note as I did not have the opportunity to communicate with you at the parade. Surprised to see you there!
Hope you enjoy the picture of me! (should i ask for a copy of it???)
I was asked to do Irish dancing after the parade, Mom and Dad were there as well, so it was truly a fun-filled time indeed, hope your celebrations were equally enjoyable!

A dear family friend of mine, who was in the parade with me, knew your father well, grew up with him, had fond memories. Thought you might like to know, his memory was indeed kept alive during the St. Patrick's festivities.

On another note, I will be in your town on business, July 18th.
How about you and I meet up?? I have to check in on things at the office there and make sure everything is going as scheduled.
I will be there myself, no car, as I am taking the train, so I'll rely on the public transport and cabs to get around, or rent a car if need be, but the transport there is great anyway!
(note that I put the word myself, so he would not get the idea that I was with anyone, or attached like he may think.)

I'll sign off for now, hoping we can expand on our lives for the past 23 years (yes, can you believe it!) when I arrive in your town on July 18th. I'm in the process of finalizing my plans at the moment.

Take good care, and I look forward to hearing from you!

All the Best,
