10/13/13 - "RE:
Kathy":
Carol: I know you will think I'm a pain in the rear end, but I noticed on your Sail On Sailor edition that my sister, Kathy, was not on the birthday recognition on the 18th of October. It was then I realized that you had mistakenly put her birthday in the month of September. I hope you would be kind enough to change this and I thank you in advance. Sincerely, Wayne |
