An Enduring Friendship

Dear Carol,

This is the time I most regret not having saved our correspondence.  If I were a clever writer, I would make it up.  Perhaps together we can recall some interesting events in our shared lives.

Do you remember…?

The Philadelphia Enquirer, 1963

Michael’s brit milah 1964

Leo and Gertie’s inflatable toys

And Gertie’s iced Grandmother cookies (no mother would have time)

Your role in the Burde relocation to St. Louis during a moving industry strike

The farm – sweet corn and overalls

Snowstorm Easter Sunday in Pittsburgh

Aerograms – 1972-197?

Jerusalem and Rosh Pina 1977

Our many visits since then in Israel, New York, Philadelphia, London, and Pittsburgh

You have left an indelible imprint on my life, beloved friend.

Happy Birthday…and many more!
