Hey Tom,

Sorry I didn't call you back after the hurricane passed through, but I've been sailing nearly every day since then. And, for some strange reason I couldn't find your telephone number in my Rolodex. At any rate, I'm still alive and kicking, the boat is fine, the sailing has been great, and if you ever get back to this part of the world I'll be more than happy to take you and your lovely wife out on the Chesapeake.

Keep in touch, and thanks for thinking about me,

Gary
