Dear Katie,
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14,1984
To the Son and the Holy Spirit,
I’ll always want you! Dave * * * Dear Eddy and Rony
You’re the best friends a father could have—we’ve had so many good times—especially all those birthday parties 9th Ave? South St. Seaport — the Working women!
Can I have my 3 dollars back? I’m hungry. * * #
Love and Spam, the father *
K. K. *

Dear Ger— Happy birthday—see you at the polls! Can you beat that—3 million $ for those legs?!? All she was able to catch with them, was a ranger from Maine! How was Kansas? I must say, the chili-burgers here in NY are really going down-hill! I think, maybe pink champagne is more my style—then again, maybe I’ll stick to Gianni’s and Beaucoup’s! Well, I’m off to Fortunoffs—and you? HVD! With Love, Shatzi * *
*
Dear Betty, You really must wisen up as far as your love life is concerned! Attacking toucans, medieval weapons, Long Island embraces, and spam, somehow do not fulfill my idea of the Meaning of Life! Go for people with normal names— (like John, or maybe Smith!); don’t search for love—it’ll come your way soon enough! In the mean time, will you come back to me? You’re my woman and always will be. I promise to love, cherish, belong to you, and keep your dentist bill low— Your Lauren * * * To my dear co-writer and our heathen friend, What would I do without you? You boost my ego, (not too hard!), you understand and support me, you laugh and cry with me. Life here would be unthinkable without the trinity—not as abstract maybe, but very little fun. Thanks for always being there. I Love you— Love, Your Viscious “Dear” * * * Dear Bert and Rock, Yaw squishin’yaw sista! Declare it. Sub City. I’ll be Kenny. Love, Twistee

Wanted:

Lighting designer to share a persona workout—toucan optional, should be able to discuss the meaning of life (42) and medieval weapons, monty python a necessity — mummy is working on it. meet me in the LIRR station — love (sort of) NJ cutie * * *
When SH or Spr. calls, your crankiness is adamant, But that simple call from a New York redhead makes you pant— “What, Mass, again???—I just don’t believe this smut!” but don’t worry—after all, you are his favorite closet— ! I love ya’ 10:15 * * *
Roses are red Violets are blue you are a fwoozie platypoose and I love you. * * *
