Still trying to catch up ? --

I know you didn't finish your last year yet --

Our Eisteddfod this year was smashing -- aye -- even without you --

Enoch Kent, Norman Kennedy, Geordie McIntire and Alison McMorland --

Held up your end - kept it going -- did very well --

Someone sent this link along today -- I don't get to this sort of thing myself --

So I hope you see it -- bringing to mind "those good old days that's awa" --

Some in Assonet still ask about you -- "you got it!" --

Have you seen Tim Neat's new book on Hamish -- a nice bit of work --

"Howard, your birth In January, on a Tuesday,
in Brooklyn, NY makes you one of the rare few
able to receive the ancient powers of the Runes.
Magic is already written in your DNA.
The circumstances of your birth suggest that you
are quite probably a direct descendant of a Rune Shaman"...
    So wrote Bethea today --

Ray -- I will do what I can -- Howard
