Dana, thank you for all of the relatable 'Reach Back' memories and interesting articles - I've enjoyed your company. Thought I'd send this 'Goof' your way; just Me being Me! * Enjoy Your Family Holiday ~L'Chaim~ JB Favorite Annual 'Family' Holiday Letters: Family Update: ..." 1st some good news. Jay found a furnished studio apartment on the Hudson River. It's an exclusive gated community called Sing-Sing, and he shares it with his new roommate, Buba. The lodgings come with free meals and the use of an exercise yard the guys share with 1,700 other like-minded gentlemen. Now the sad news: Jay thinks it may be impossible to join us this year; maybe in 3 to 5?" "....Aunt Frieda passed away in April. She lived long enough to say her last words: "Just GO we can make the Light." So, what else? Other than Frieda being wiped out by a truck. Jay being incarcerated, just the same old~same old. *Ooh, just got a text from Jay. He and Buba have escaped and will be joining us for holiday dinner after all. Say an extra prayer. - Find some Smiles this Year - Bro's & Sis's j-bud in l.a.
