Dear Frank,

 All the best to you for the New Year! How are things going in the Land of the Rising Sun? I must say, I really envy you getting that Tokyo gig with the company. Somehow they overlooked me on that one and I am forced to slug it out here through another frigid and snowy Montreal winter. Brrrr!

 I heard through the grapevine that business is going well there. Rumor has it that you guys are just about to close a big deal with the Japanese government for an M-750 Simulator. Great news! Good for the company and good for you. Keep up the great work!

 Did you hear about Margie Bronson suddenly leaving the company just before year-end? It was a bit of a shock to say the least. She gave one week's notice and was gone. Nobody knows for sure what's up with her but rumors have been flying fast and furious that she went through a bit of a personal meltdown and has now gone underground to lick her wounds for a while. There could be some truth to that since her long time relationship ended recently and three months ago she was passed over for that director position that was up for grabs. I'll keep you posted when we find out more.

 As for me, I am quite busy these days on the Branscombe Systems Project. We are entering Phase Two now, and that is expected to run for three years, at least. Frank Schindler is Senior Project Manager and I am Team Leader of the Embedded Systems Group. I am enjoying it so far. Whether I'll feel the same way in three years, I'm not sure. By then I might be ready to join you in Japan.

 I'm still kicking butt in the squash court and am managing to get in two or three matches per week. What about squash in Japan? Have you been able to play any over there? Are there even any squash courts? I suppose since you are in Tokyo there must be some. Let me know.

 I have to go now and attend to family duties. Jonathon needs some help with his homework and Angie wants me to fix something in the kitchen. You single guys traveling the world sure are lucky!

 Keep me posted whenever you can. I really enjoy receiving your letters and getting the details of your life in Japan.

 Your squash buddy,

 Dave

Dear Joanne,

I really want to thank you for all of the trouble you went to entertaining the entire family over the past holiday season.

I know that you organize these holiday gatherings because you enjoy doing it and you love to have everyone get together at your place. Nevertheless, I just want to make sure that you understand how much the rest of us appreciate everything you do to make these get-togethers happen.

Having helped Susan organize a few much smaller social gatherings over the years I know how much work is involved. I realize how much planning and preparation you must have to do each and every year so that the entire extended family and assorted friends and acquaintances have a happy and fun holiday celebration. It's amazing really, that you are able to do such a great job, year after year, in parallel with your other duties, both as a mom and an active volunteer worker!

So Joanne, on behalf of everyone I want to express my sincere thanks to you for all that you do to assemble and entertain us during the holiday season. You really are the glue that holds our extended family together!

With love and admiration,

John Genre 3   Century City  Forest Apartment complex  4039  May, 5 1999

Dear mom, I have stopped going to the support groups and therapists. I have however found a very good way to deal with my job issues, relationships, and life in general. Its a new social club that I attend. I was sworn to secrecy because of the first and second rules of the club. I am doing very well and the leader of the club is very insightful. He is putting new ideas and knowledge into my head. About society and my place in it, he is making sense of my life. It is really helping me cope with all the trials and tribulations of life. The club does cause some minor physical injuries once in a while, but I honestly think it is worth it. I’m not alive anywhere like I am there. During the club meetings I forget about all my problems and I just live in the moment. I’m sorry I am being so vague in telling you details about the goings on during the club meetings but I am sworn to secrecy. The club leader is very clear that we are not to tell anyone about it. I have to go get started on one of my homework assignments for it. The club leader hands them out after the club meetings every saturday. I will stay in touch. I just wanted to let you know how well I am doing.

Love your son,

Thomas
