Re: Henry, smaller worlds still!

[Guest guest]

Dear Henry,

Welcome back! We haven't met before, as I believe you left the

group right before I joined in June of 2001. Since I'm from South

Carolina, too, I've had several people ask about you ever since I

joined, so it's really great to hear that you are back with the

group.

I, too, lived in ton, from '77 to '86. My second marriage

was to a South Carolian, and we moved to Beaufort in '86 and

then moved to his home town of Bluffton in '89, where we've

been ever since. My children lived in ton as adults, my

son just left there after 10 years stationed at the AFB, and my

daughter still lives on Island after graduating from COC

in '98. My ex-husband is in Mt. Pleasant, and I have close friends

who have lived in Creekside Park for the last 18 years. For all

we know I may have driven right by where you live dozens of

times when I've been up there visiting friends.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having some more problems,

and hospitalized again. Hopefully the warm welcomes from new

friends here, and the happy reunion with older ones that are still

active with us, will provide some healthy support and comfort to

help speed your recovery. We all look forward to hearing more

from you soon.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi
