Wow, Moose! How lovely getting a surprise phone call from merry ol' England a few minutes ago. How nice hearing your charming English accent over the wire. I am still smiling! Thank you for calling and chatting with me. You made my day. Sorry I wasn't a bit more exuberant, but you caught me with a darned Michigan cold. Just call me sneezy today! 
I will make sure that I send a big hello from across the Atlantic from you to Don Burgett when I see him in three weeks. I know he enjoyed meeting you blokes too! 
You and the rest of the "boys" do them great honor. I was moved by your stories when the vets from the 101st Airborne visited with you. What a great honor for you, to get paid such high compliments. 
Well my employee just went home sick, so Lee and I will have to work the rest of day. Oh well, didn't really have any plans, but I have to admit I don't feel like working with this danged cold. You gotta do what ya gotta do. 
Next time I will surprise you and give you a jingle across the miles. Cheers!
