30 something years afterwards, this fella I dated in college has written to me, seeking out my address thru my college alumni. He lives in CA, right ont he beach in an apt in Venice. I've rec'd two letters, and the last one included many photographs of his surroundings and one of him as well. Though he stated he had had a triple bypass in '97, he still looks young and fit. I'm thrilled to hear from him! He has also told me he is a bit of a "recluse," much like me at this stage, but he his last letter was 5 pages! I'm kind of excited to be corresponding thru "snail mail" with someone I actually know! He's an engineer with the CA Dept of Highways, and works mostly in the desert, and doesn't have email...thius the letters. I have to admit I was thrilled to see his letter in my mailbox today! And, me a reclusive hermit, hiding from the world!
What do y'all think about this development? Maybe there is still hope for me, or am I putting too much emphasis on this new contact?
