Sooooo, all of you  must unfortunately be privy to this private appeal. 

Ahem. 

Gail I've got your phone number but I would much prefer to communicate directly with you via email.  I am still not good on phones although -- amazingly-- I had an actual if simple phone conversation with Alice!!  But do not trust my powers of hearing well enough to engage you by phone on my own. 

My email address is TLGalloway@aol.com 

I can't wait to hear from you.

Love (to Gail and to all the nosey little poops on the weekend list who read this email all the way through)

Terry
