Your recent e-mail about our dear Mrs. Kimbro (English Lit in High School - for everyone's info) was very distressing. I don't know why I would think she would live forever or that she even has any idea how many times I have remembered her words. It is probably both (John and Mrs. Kimbro) your faults' that I even try to read or write and not veg in front of the telly.

I called the hospital, unfortunately only the family can be given any information other than she is in intensive care. So, I sent her a little card last week to tell her how much of an influence she has been for me. I hope she can still hear. Maybe it will ease some pain or fear.

How does Bill (Lortz) feel?
