I am in a sharing mood today so I will share with you some of my exciting correspondence with my new friend, SSEFL. I can feel that we are really becoming close.

PERSONAL NOTE   (I got pretty excited about this email, she said if I wrote to her she'd respond!  She would actually write to me!!!  How cool is that!)

Dear Pxxx --

I loved reading your interview at the Georgetown Oral History Project website, and I couldn't help but be impressed by the candor and clarity of your unabashed account of those historic days when you worked in our nation's capital. My mom asked my great-great-grandmother once, what nationality we were, and she told me "We're Yankees;" you sound like you are one too.

But I suppose I should introduce myself first.

Several years ago I started researching my  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

In the course of my research I began reading about xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I also became interested in your story. I thought how exciting it must have been for you to have worked intimately alongside xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'd love to hear from you, what you have to say about those days, and write about you in my Blog. I think that people like you, and perhaps my father, are our real national treasures. In your interview you mentioned that you were writing a memoir and that you had retained an agent. Can you say if or when that will be published? I'd love to read it.

Well, God bless you.
