Jetting away.

One of the great things about writing a ‘snail mail letter’ is it provides a way to continue a conversation with someone.

I met Danny last year at a St. James Inn event — a few homes sponsored by the Paulist Church to give patients who are undergoing serious medical treatment at UCLA a place to live rent-free.

He gave me his card, and I nobly tried to reach him in Texas — but the e-mail didn’t work and my ‘snail mail’ letter also came back to me.  I kept his info on my desk for several months but didn’t have the heart to fight the secret world of Lockheed to find him.

Because I think he’s a fun person that Vin and I would like to know better, I’m trying again to reach out and hopefully, strengthen our new friendship.
