I went to a 70th birthday party for a good friend of mine up in East Hartford. We had a great time, and Anne West also went to this party. I met her at her house in Southington, then her aide picked both of us up and we went to the gathering. Then after it was over, I went to visit her in her apartment and arrived back home last night at about 9:30. It is always wonderful to be with her. She and I both went to Oak Hill together and I also knew her parents. She was an only child like me.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, I'll give you a call to find out how the meeting went and what you discussed.</div><div><br></div><div>Take care and have a super Sunday!</div><div><br></div><div>Esther<br><br><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Sent From Esther's Amazing and Awesome iPhone 7+!</span></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Apr 9, 2021, at 6:26 PM, Maryanne Melley via CT-NFB <ct-nfb@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style><!--
