John,
You were right the Celtics are a lot better with Kevin Garnett, they just won their 8th straight. The Pats beat the colts and are now going for their 10th win. We miss all the talk we had together and you are in our thoughts always. Your mother and I miss you more than anything. Thats all for now John.
Love Dot and Ang
