      Seek the Lord Jesus Christ while he may be found everyone. Be Holy as God is Holy. Homosexuality is a sin. Sin shortens life, because of our sins we are separated from God. Everyone have an expiration date and this world have an expiration date.There is nothing in this world worth going to hellfire for, depart from worldliness everyone. It's NOT about religion/denomination, it's about a relationship with Jesus Christ by praying everyday, reading the Bible everyday, believe the gospel, While you are still alive repent of all of your sins and be born again.

      @@gregg.d Oh yeah I know! lol I think tea versus coffee is a generational thing. Most of the youth today prefer coffee because of how place likes Starbucks and Costa have made it more popular. I'm a 50 year old American gay male but when I was in Uni I had loads of British friends that came over here to study. They ALWAYS would ask me "hey mate, when a cuppa?" and they meant tea. I would always say "yes, I'd love one". I've always loved coffee and tea equally but that is a southern thing. I'm from South Carolina and I lot of our culture comes from when Britons came and settled here. We are big tea drinkers down here. Anyway thanks and hello over the Pond! Love hearing from nice people!

    This was a well-put-together video. It also brought tears to my eyes, Chris, because I understood the value of what you did in bringing that letter. I am now 63 years old and have only been out for about 7 years. Yes, I was hidden so to speak all of that time. I also had two opportunities to find someone I could grow old with, but let those pass me by. One of them is quite well off and we keep in touch. I have asked some friends in Seattle if they could help with finding John. I also have academic colleagues that I will ask as well. One friend of mine is a bit older but has well-established contacts in the LGBTQ community in Seattle and I just messaged him. Thank you for this video. I hope for a quick resolution for this for you. Do keep us updated.

Apparently, you must not have a last name, that would help substantially, less a “needle in a haystack “. But you have a large, loyal fan base and the gay community is relatively small, so there just might be hope in finding that needle. Good on you, Chris, our beautiful heartfelt twink and friend. 🙏🏾❤

    Well done, well edited and mixed as always. Love that you an Art rely on eachother. I can imagine it's hard sometimes to make the minor re-enactments seem natural (like bro finding letter, reaching David. You have to arrange some things to make it viable, totally understand) but you guys do it well. Nice call from your UK pals on Brits staying in same home longer ! And it's fascinating to see the understated, cool, less emotional British reax in David. If you have no experience with Brits, it might seem kinda cold, but it's totally not. Good stuff all around !

    What an incredibly kind and adventurous thing for you to do! Clearly David was surprised and moved by the letter, the memories, and by your dedication to finding him and bearing the letter. You are a special person, Chris, and I hope John is still alive and well and able to reconnect with his old flame.

    What a story! And I do believe you were meant to find this letter and deliver the letter. I can't wait to hear more as you dig into this. And how great is David to allow you to pursue this story.

    I'm up in the air about this one. The outcome could go a few different ways. I've learned in life that sometimes things are never as good or as bad as you think they will be, they are somewhere in the middle. But, who knows. Time will tell. I've often thought about contacting people I knew from the past but for the most part I keep myself from doing it. I tried once contacting someone but he never got back to me. There is always that hope that you can pick up where you left off and in the case of friendships it has happened for me....but someone who you have had a more intimate relationship with? That might have all sorts of other baggage along with it. So, as I said.....time will tell. I look forward to seeing where this goes. Thanks for the video! This could be a series about finding people's lost loves. Perhaps you could change the name of your channel to StanCupid.

    W.o.W. What an Adventure....
    I just subscribed to your channel. And this video popped up somewhere so it immediately caught my attention.
    I hope you keep us posted if you find John ...
    When you at his door my heart rate went to above 120.
    I really appreciate this action. That you take the time to travel so far when you could have just posted it in a new envelope.
    This just proves that there are people whose hearts are in the right place.
    I hope the search for John leads to a fantastic adventure also for David.
    Kind regards and a Bigg Hugg From the Netherlands....

    How are we to help if we don’t know John’s full name? Best wishes & hope you can find him 🫶 This was beyond really kind of you to take the letter 💌 all that way to London. And when David started to get emotional while reading it definitely made me teary 🥹 eyed.

      I suppose if someone in Seattle knows a man of about the same age as David, whose name is John, who used to live in Boston, and who maybe once mentioned a fling with a British guy in 1996, that would be enough clues even without his last name!

    I can relate, but for me it was 1981. I went to London. He came to Ohio. He tried to immigrate. We finally gave up in 1985. I haven’t heard from him since, but often wonder what became of him.

      There are so many stories like this in the 80s and 90s. The younger guys can't understand just how different things used to be. Things really haven't changed major until the 2000s+, before that you had to be really discreet because people's families would freak out OR Guys would get scared and stop talking because they thought their family would know they were gay. So many stories. So many romantic loves lost to time and lives.
