Dear Shirl,

     I had xmas cards made from the picture.  That was mixed up so I was going to send you a print and explain - then one of the "Rover Boys", (my sorority). calmly told me he was getting married an d that I was going to stand up for him.  This last week has been exciting.  The wedding took place yesterday.  In the middle of the service the priest stopped and asked me if I would be O.K. - thats how nervous I was.  Once again - hope you had Happy Holidays.

       Bye Now,

          Ray
