Hi Barrie,

I thought you would get a kick out of the email I just received from 2 close friends that Theo and I often met at the park.

When is Dutch arriving? We can hardly wait any longer to see you and the new puppy!

I have received similar emails from others. For a while Greg and I thought we might have to rent a bus to take everyone down to your place and say "Release Dutch now!" The whole neighborhood keeps asking, "When can we meet Dutch." You may not realize that our Hoytt dobes have been very highly loved by many people in Oak Park. They would all love to meet you. You have achieved rock star status without even being here.

We are crossing off the days until we meet Dutch. Life will be great again.

Charlotte and Greg
