[stylist] R: Post Cards from Prague

[Lynda Lambert]

Hooray for you, Barbara!
Isn't it an amazing day when you get a hand written letter!  I can no longer 
read a letter, of course, but there is something so special about knowing 
that someone took the time to put their hand to the paper and think of 
writing to me.  I still amaze folks when they get a hand written letter from 
me - I use those forms for the blind, and I can still write letters and 
address envelopes that way.
