I just read this over before sealing it. I don't know WHY I cast sucha misty atmosphere over life. I hasten to assure you that I am youngand happy and exuberant; and I trust you are the same. Youth hasnothing to do with birthdays, only with ALIVEDNESS of spirit, so evenif your hair is grey, Daddy, you can still be a boy.

Affectionately, Judy
