UNEXPECTEDLY RECEIVING AN E-MAIL FROM A FRIEND CAN MAKE YOUR DAY.  I GOT AN E-MAIL RECENTLY FROM A FRIEND NAMED FRED WHO LIVES IN DETROIT.  ACTUALLY IT WAS FROM HIS SON WHO IS MORE COMPUTER KNOWLEDGEABLE THAN DAD. OUR FRIENDSHIP GOES BACK TO 1943 WHEN WE WERE STATIONED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS.  FRED IS DOING WELL, BUT HAS PROBLEMS WITH HIS KNEES.  THE SECOND E-MAIL INCLUDED SEVERAL PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN DURING OUR TIME SPENT AT THE U OF I, MOST TAKEN ON A HITCH-HIKING TRIP TO CHICAGO FOR A WEEKEND.  

ONE E-MAIL ALLOWED ME MANY MEMORIES OF GOOD TIMES, THANKS TO THE COMPUTER.  I HOPE SOME OF MY FRIENDS HERE CAN RELATE TO A GREAT FRIENDSHIP EXPERIENCE LIKE MINE.
