I’m in that back to school state of mind, late summer. The weather changes. And you keep writing about loons. So it’s been 50 years, although I don’t recall the exact date. But I remember the rest. At the Methodist church fellowship hall. Where my family went to church, so…

Pesach 1983 / פֶּסַח 5743 Pesach 2021 / פֶּסַח 5781 6th day / 7th day I never knew you to be observant but that’s the date at the top and you were fastidious about that maybe you even stayed up all night you said you’d lost my address but found it working…
