Dearest David, This is your Nannie, Suzanne, writing to you. It’s been years since our paths have crossed! I saw your picture and read the “fabulous” article about your coaching on Facebook. The years have truly been good to you. I so often think about your MOM who would be so proud of you. Old “swamp-pop” music reminds me of your DAD and his musical family. I’m happy that life is going well for you. I’m still in Reserve and living in the same house. Be sure to visit whenever you’re near the area. It would be a pleasure to see you and meet your wife. Love always, Nannie Sue
