My letter will be posted the 5th of July, and I had to wait for the 4th of July.
I enjoyed your very interesting letter, Bob! You must have a kind interior life. You have so very much to offer.:-o
Each day here in Illinois, Galesburg is a busy day! I had a six hr visit for 6 days in June and 6 days in July. Which is a lot! I walk home mostly every day for an hour, when temperatures are not that hot anymore.
I enjoy the long talks with George jr. He ever was a pen pal(I had 2 when I started 10 and more yrs ago) and he grew very dear to me.:-)I taught him today 3 Flemisch sentences. This was fun!;-)
I had to write on small pages from the hotel because I lacked writing paper! Well, this too will pass.
I will make tonight a call to my daughter Leslie in California. She will be surprised!
i am pleased to see a reaction from your side on my writings! See, lately I got a strange message from a certain Mary...?? and it was send from behind the bars; so, I wondered how you suddenly send this email with her name Mary?? It was real strange. But now I we can start to write.:) I was quite busy lately since I am now in Galesburg, IL visiting my friend George; he still is one of my penpals. By writing he grew very dear to me. Today actually it had to be his PB, but they replaced it because of the 4th of July, to August. First I had 2 pen pals: Robert, a Mexican on d/r and George; he could be released in September!? Then Cuhua(temoc) another Mexican on d/r; a lot younger then Robert and also Johnny a black innocent man. The DNA has dissapeared and it is a struggle to prove his innocense... I started recently to write with Bob, a white man and on d/r in CA. On his blog, but also letters. He is really very spiritual, which is nice. Well, there are two people more I found on this blog and we write on the blog. Not everyone can answer like you do, Frederick.
Too bad you got busted for so long for an auto theft! I see you make yourself ready what to do next comimg on your release.;) It's nice you have a daughter. Can she visit you and did she do? Do you ever get a visit?
Like you we have two grandkids: Adric 4 and a half and Claire 2 and a half. She was born in San Diego. I see them on skype and I do visit them now and then. Our oldest daughter lives in Brussels, the capital from Belgium.
I wondered if you speak any Spanish?I do speak several languages.Yes ia am retired ,I ever taught, but i lived a long time in America, and right now I do some volunteer work. I am divorced and my ex still lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We lived also there for almost 6 yrs.He lives there now. I live in Antwerpen, a lively port city. As mentioned already we've two daughters.
Well,i'll prepare myself to go visit George now. I usually come back walking for an hour.I've six hrs to visit each day!!12 days in a row in 2 different months that is.
Well, I've kinda got mixed views on the death penalty. I think it should only be used in cases where the evidence is overwhelming, and where the crime is particularly cruel. A man who kills someone he finds in bed with his wife should be held to a different standard than the guy who rapes, tortures and murders someone whose house he deliberately breaks into. There was a case a few years ago where two guys broke into a house, kidnapped the mother, took her to a bank to withdraw money, then took her home and raped and killed her and her daughter. There is no doubt that these two should be executed , in my opinion. But who is to say what is extreme? I know that the crime you were convicted of was very gruesome. But you were also young and had a lot of mitigating circumstances. Bill
Ronnie: You sent this response to me in October... it has been that long since i have been back online. Please update your address to me and I will send you a letter in the US mail.
Wow... I am speechless. I will keep praying for you Donny. Will you get to go home soon? Do you not have family that you can contact to try and help you?
Ronnie: Well said honey. Sometimes you have to be the bigger person. Some things are just better left unsaid... and if you must say something, then just kill them with kindness!

I am going to continue on reading the rest of your posts as I am quite behind... I am imagining some good laughs coming my way thanks to you!
Cheers!
