Discovering the write stuff
Besides the trove of letters I’d burn — then stuff the ashes up Crapdami — I’d like to reprint some.
From Belle Harbor: “I’ve read you for years. No words to describe how wonderful is its history, glamour and NY glimpses. And I love you mentioning famous face Dr. Dan Baker who was my surgeon in Vietnam” . . . Lorraine from Midtown: “An actress, I follow you. You’re the reason I subscribe to the NY Post” . . . Elaine from Center Moriches: “I’m a longtime fan. Love your column. Keep writing and I’ll keep reading.”
Rose from Carmel: “Bless you. You are a beloved person — so God bless from my heart” . . . Diplomat James Patterson: “I’d enjoy meeting you in DC. It’s safe now with President Trump in firm control” . . . Jim from Maine: “Bless you for always remembering your mother” . . . Lodi, NJ’s Sally: “Please help the horses in NY.” Yeah. OK. But first let’s help the asses in DC.
Brodsky from California: “You’re part of my life. I came to the US in ’95, bought a computer and it’s you who helped me learn English” . . . Robert writes: “I’m a devoted reader for years.” Oh, thank you. Also thanks to Staten Island’s non doctor Chuck, who sends a list of medicines we should take to stay healthy. And there’s Brookhaven’s attorney Kerins: “Your wit is remarkable.” And an animal lover whose name’s blurred wants me to help animals. Yeah, OK. But first let’s save our politicians.
