Dear Ann
Hi [Ann].
Sounds like you didn’t get as much rain as we did yesterday. It pored! We had gone to an Altoona Curve baseball game and made it to the 7th inning, when it began raining. They played another half-inning or so, then it started coming down in buckets. The game went into rain delay for an hour or so, upon which time, we decided to head home.
There were supposed to be fireworks afterward, but those were cancelled. They may shoot them off tonight, but the weather isn’t looking too good right now – dark gray clouds and distant thunder.
Yes, I remember Ray. Didn’t know him very well, as I was in 6th grade when he graduated.
So, you were a wild college girl. Curious. What are you like now? 
Thanks for your cell phone number. I put it in my contacts list.
By the way, did you ever consider getting high-speed Internet through TV cable or the telephone? Not only is it faster, but it does not tie up your phone line. Even when you’re on the Internet, you can still use your phone. I have it here (cable modem) and it cost $34.95 per month.
I’m looking forward to seeing you again too. Bring your skates (just kidding).
Also, did you know Richard Parker? He graduated in 1977 [...]. He’s been battling terminal gastro-intestinal cancer now for almost two years. Seems to be holding his own. But he does have to get lots of kemo and radiation just to keep it at bay. He’s married and has two girls. Both are younger than ten years old but I don’t know their exact ages. I’ll have to ask Rich if he remembers you.
Well, I have to get back to work. There’s a book to finish reading then a little essay to knock out. I’ll talk to you later on. Enjoy the rest of your day.
