"Dear Bugs, Thanks for the loan of your jacket - I didn't let it out of my sight the whole time - I couldn't, (Ollie kept reminding me). It kept me soooo warm. Thanks."
"The best thing that's ever happened to me. I never felt like a star before in my heart. It was so wonderful to look down and see a fellow smiling at me." (Marilyn Monroe)
