I received the following which I thought you might like to read and decided to reply in kind. I have removed the data which would identify the sender because I don't know if that person would want it published. .Sent: Saturday, September 16, 2000 7:51 PM : Dear Dr. Bill, : If I could be with you one hour tonight we would probably get misty : remembering those cotton fields back home and how we used to go waltzing, : Matilda.(Did you know that's my pet name for you?) : Yes, you've come a long way from St. Louis. I wonder...is it true what : they say about Dixie?...and is there a lot of stormy weather there? : You know, if I didn't care I wouldn't tell you that I'm getting : sentimental over you and beg you...Ruby (thats my other pet name for you : :-D) don't take your love to town. : : My humble apologies...I couldn't resist. I'll go sit in the corner now. My Reply: I would much rather be Down On The Boondocks or even walking through Them Old Cotton Fields Back Home, than Waltzing Matilda. I find my self Getting Sentimental Over You, even Misty as I remember your trip. You Came A Long Way From St. Louis, and my plea is Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town. Like the Phantom Of The Opera, If I Didn't Care, I would not even ask "Is It True What They Say About Dixie" ( I apologize, I know you don't like that name your Mother gave you.) If I Could Be With You One Hour Tonight, I could explain that You Are My Everything and Blue Skies would replace this Stormy Weather. Bill
