hi Kelly,

Yes, we spoke Pam and me; at least by email.She ever wrote me a long time ago this: 'Ive known Kelly for at least 30 yrs.He has sent a lot of crocheted items over time and I have not been succesful in moving them along though they are very well made.I purchased many items for gifts in the past. So a lot of the stuff I had no longer is here.The blanket was large and was sold to my niece for 150 dollars two christmasses ago. My sister has a lot of the stuff in her store room at her house. So I will pick it up so I can make pictures of it for you.I do look forward to hearing from you again soon.'
I wonder if you ever got the 150 dollars? :o

Well, she never sent any photos. She wrote another note later. I will have to write it here too.
This comes later, Kelly; I've to search for it on my emails.

I got your letter, but I had still to write to Rubi,first; an inmate on DR, in Texas.
I also write with Joshua, a dear friend to George, an artist. George was transferred to the prison he was in before: Menard! So Joshua and him doesn't see each other anymore.
Joshua got some cards of my art and he made with George a water color of my parents! When they married. Done so good!!!
Not too long ago he sent me 8 paintings by post! I was so impressed!!!:o
George is still in segregation: six months!! His lawyer Jessica does everything she can to undo the period.He spends his time there studying(French and chess), writes (articles and letters, also to his opponents of chess games: many!!), and he reads books and his newspapers.
He keeps strong knowing someone cares for him very much, me!:)))
Today I tried to call his dad! He turns 93 today!!!
I was so very busy:some bike rides (in the 30 km) and walks of 15 km(today!) with the active Flemish seniors,dancing Biodanza in a new group lately. I did also 2 workshops in the Ardennes in the summer vacation:Painting and Biodanza (the origin lays in Chile)/Painting as well.
I even am in a literature group now. Babysitting now and then at my daughter Elke too.
Leslie lives with her family in San Diego, CA; they bought a house there!:)

Me too I love your latest quote. Sorry to hear about the friend you liked. :(

It says here you should receive the note by the 26th of September.Tell me WHEN you got it, ok?

You wrote her date of birth, but to be able to find her, you've to mention her BIRTHPLACE and the STATE, Henry.
I wait for the answer.

hello Henry,
I got your latest letter. I will write back any day now; we're the 22 th of September today. i had to write to Rubi first, Mexican om DR, in Texas.
I will try to locate your daughter, Henry.
How is everything going right now?I wondered, are you in a State prison or a Federal one?
You are still doing yoga? I read you're working in the kitchen as a cook. Hard working for sure!!
I read your family also is estranged... too bad. At least one sister writes to you.Couldn't she make the other siblings write you too?

As soon as I can now, I'll search for your daughter, ok?

Take care, Henry and be blessed! Kind regards from Rita!

I love your poetry! I always have.... I pray you get this message. I want u to know that the things that happened, I'm sorry they happened the way that they did. Life happened. No excuses. No bs. I had to do what was best for our son..... And the pain in my heart I couldn't deal with anymore. I am going to write u and send u some pics of Jaizean too. I will explain everything and tell u how life "happened" and how it's been.
