COMBAT

This letter is from April 1987...
You gotta love segues...

Monday
Dear Adam-
Do you think it's a good idea to leave the piano in the lobby of a building you're not in anymore? Personally, I would put it in storage for $100 for one month. It may even cost only $50.
There's something new for roaches called Combat. You can buy it at Ralph's. There's no mess and no smell and it works. I got it for my kitchen.
A thought-Alisa is your girlfriend. But until the two of you "tie the knot", I don't think you should confide about very personal matters, do you?
Some things are better kept confidential.
I love you-
Mom

 

Screws On Your Windows

This letter, (envelope dated January 6, 1999) needs no introduction other than to say that the kid my mother refers to here was a neighbor I hardly knew named Allen. Back in the 70's when we were youngins, this loon would tell me that KILLER BEES were going to take over the world! He wasn't a very popular little fella. My mom..., loved him!


Adam-

I hope you have screws on your windows-On the news-it said 'killer bees' are on their way to L.A.-!!-Remember that kid you knew in Miami that said that-
Encl. find check for ticket-
Love,
Mom
