Return Of Creature
Hi, Annie - This a bit of a Return-Of-Creature-From-The-Lagoon, because I last had dealings with you about seven years ago, when you very beautifully "made my day" . My daughter had presented me with a surprise day out - a visit to your previous premises - for my 90th birthday! You featured it on a front page of Bibliophile News, and I still think fondly of it. The subsequent few years have been a bit grim, but I'm through those now, and living comfortably in a nursing home - a very good one. Joke is that they have asked me to create a sort of in-house magazine for the residents and staff. The first thing I thought of was "I'll need Bibliophile's help to give me a good supply of material." Thus I have just sent in an order and will be renewing my custom I hope. Yes, that makes me 97 years old, but don't go away - I'm still approachable - just - and write a piece every day so as to reassure myself that the marbles are still more or less there. The other thing my daughter did for me on my 90th was to teach me to use a computer, and it is a wonderful window onto the world. It also means my order was sent to you online - magic! I look forward to renewing our relationship, which I have held onto by receiving your publication each month. Cheers! - Martin Sterne.
