Just got this letter from my friend Glory a few minutes ago. I'm still shaking my head after the week I've had. I think I'm in the Twilight Zone. Is that Rod Serling I seek lurking in the distance??

Marion how are you? It has been a while since I emailed you, or for that matter done anything online. Been totally busy and then we were on a trip so we have been gone, but the reason I am emailing you is I had the neatest experience in Dallas, Texas on a layover we had. We had about a 3 hour layover so we had time to get to know the airport, so much fun, but actually this time it was neat to have a layover. There was a man at a bookstore there in the airport, and I walked by but was intrigued, so I stopped and it was a man by the name of James Megellas, and he was signing books, he had written a book "All the Way to Berlin", he was in the 82nd airborne, and he was wearing all his medals and it was so exciting to talk to him. I talked a bit to him, had him sign my book and then went to where our gate was and started reading the book. Well it was so interesting that I read so much of it and had a question so I went back and he was still there and I talked to him at length. Such a priviledge to meet him and talk to him, very exciting. At any rate, I just wanted to tell you that. Well hope this finds you well and all. Glory
