Vera, about 15 years ago, I had the honor of meeting you at the Brookside Golf Course. It was my birthday and my friends took me out golfing. We saw you and waved and you were kind enough to come and say hello. You wished me a happy birthday and that made my day! I know you don’t remember as this probably happens to you every day, but I just wanted to let you know that i appreciated your kindness.
