"I'm so glad you're out there!"

Dear Steve, {and all the helpers} I've wanted to contact you for a while...but then Madame Helene made the scene and everything went sideways...literally! Today there's 8" of snow...BUT...I just have to "write" as today's stories really were "mine". I grew up in NY...spent, well, minutes on both bridges, marveled at this guy's vision, and wondered what else he might have done. I loved Izzy...so brilliant...didn't know 1/2 that info... Oh, and all the other articles...Gee, I'm so glad you're "out there"! Sincerely, Kathryn C...........................Hello Kathryn, Thank you for your wonderful email—you’ve put enough wind in my sails to last me the week! (By the way, it's just me—no helpers :)) I am sorry to hear about the snow in NY, but you guys are so resilient in the tough weather. In the UK we are completely useless at dealing with adverse conditions. I hope you weren’t too badly affected by Hurricane Helene and—if you were—have managed to settle back down to something normal (if there is such a thing in the world at the moment). As for Tadeusz Kościuszko, I have had a fantastic week researching such a noble human being. His motivation was so simple and pure. It would be great if some of his star dust settled on a lot more of us. I am also delighted that (thanks to my Polish friend) I can now pronounce and spell Kościuszko without cheating. It is great to hear from someone who has spent ‘minutes’ on both bridges named after him in NY. :). Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and stay in touch. Best wishes, Steve.
