7:15 am on Monday the 2nd of July I'll be getting violated by the Cardiac Cath Squad, while I'm out I'll be dreaming of the convention and wishing I was there to Give everyone a huge Hug! Especially, My amigo Riccardo, this wonderful man has called me from Italy when I'm on the very edge of desperation and his compassionate, caring,energetic attitude has pulled me right from the very depths of hysteria and personal panic when I am full of fear and pain and slipping off the edge of self pity.
I don't know how to say thank you enough, my friend! I would kiss and hug you like I have never done before, because you "MY FRIEND" have the timing and ability of an angel! An Absolute Itialian Angel!
Thanks to all my friends that have helped me through this personal crisis, your mail has lifted the spirit of this Old Salty Fool to a level that in unsurpassed in my recollection! Enjoy each other and for each of you! Please!A Hugh Hug from Old Sailpappy
