Hi Barb. I mailed you flash on 9-5-84 insured for 200.00 dollars. Let me know if something goes wrong. Larry Sultan and Linda Connor are doing the grad. seminars now. Good for me as you will see! Found a place to live in only 1 1/2 weeks and have met 2 good people already. Job is on the way I know. Sorry our friendship has gotten so strange but I'm sure I'll live. Thanks John [address and phone redacted]
