Dear Ruddy:
It was good to hear from you and to be
with you at the circus. I thought you
were pretty quiet that day and I'm glad
to know the reason and also glad to
know you are alright now.
I'm sorry to hear about your problem with
Raymond. You did right in telling him
you were sorry. Maybe you need to do a
little more if he's still acting not so
friendly. Go to him when you can talk
quietly, without others around. Tell him
good friends aren't easy to come by, and
that you want to be his friend. Tell him
you were upset and not thinking straight
when you called him what you did, but you
didn't mean it and you want him for your
best friend.
Thanks for the pictures. I really enjoyed
them. You brought back some memories for
me. I used to be in school plays --- also
some pageants and plays in Sunday School.
