Holy crap! That's gotta be 20 years ago. You must be really old.
Anyway ... just wanted you to know, as I look back, it was one of the most fun weeks of my life. You were a hoot.
Come to think of it, every good copywriter I've ever known has been pretty darn funny. Certifiably nuts, but funny.
Here's a memory for you. I had this one framed, hanging on my bedroom wall, all thru high school.

Glad to see you're still alive and kicking.

Arkansas, that group had some very interesting people, a rocket scientist, the above mentioned dentist...you and me, great fun.
We only recently recovered from the Rocky trade, when LeBron came home and gave us some light, not counting the 64 Browns, but the CURSE has been a long one...two days ago, before trades were nullified, I thought maybe the Indians had a chance, today...not so sure.
Hope you are doing well, might be down your way this winter, a little bit north of W. Palm to visit family, then hope to drive my RV to San Diego, for a final resting place.
I was with a group of Cub Scouts in 59, Rocky knocked two out of the park that day, never forget him, and the darkness which consumed Cleve ever since the trade.

PS. Wanna help me write Super Secrets of Direct Response Copywriting...I have a recording somewhere of Halbert shouting, "try again sh!t weasel", as paper tears into small pieces, "this sucks!"
