Dear Bernard: Just a quick line to wish you and yours a Happy Holiday Season! I trust you had a Merry Christmas in the company of family and friends, and I am sending you best wishes for good health, prosperity, and many good things in the upcoming New Year! You are one of my favorite authors, and I thank you for the great gift you present to your reading public in the form of many hours of exciting entertainment; I look forward to each of your offerings with baited breath and palpitating ventricles! Keep up the good work! Once again, may you enjoy a safe and wonderful New Year! Sincerely yours, Jim M. Gau Hancock, MI, USA
