Dear Phil and Barbara,



Lindsay Russell, Jack Cronin and I have been exchanging correspondence in support of Lindsay’s building of his delightful web-site which shows photos of our Hilton Head Event.  In the midst of our dialogue, your letter arrived, with the following comment: 

“......We are especially anxious to have opportunities to learn about the journeys that have brought us to this place in our lives.  Perry looked around the Carty’s living room that first magical evening and commented ‘Just think of all the stories in this room’”. 

So was born the next phase of Lindsay’s web-site:  to keep the momentum of the reunion going by appending to the web page of portraits Lindsay that Lindsay has already created, individuals’ thumb-nail biographies.   As I wrote to Lindsay after sharing with him that quote from your letter:  “In the reunion’s hurly-burly of greetings and sharing anecdotes, the music was great but there was precious little time to get the words - Perry’s ‘stories’.   But we still have the chance.  I personally would love to read the story of each brother in our group, whether he attended the reunion or not.”

The responses from Lindsay and Jack were positive, and the machinery is now being fired up to get brethren to create bio’s to append to the HHd web-site.

I just thought you’d like to know what you’ve inspired.



                    Cordially,



                        ______________________________
