Merry Christmas!
I thought when you
were feeling ambitious – you
might like to try some of these
(and then invite us over for a taste!)
Bon appetit.
Love,

Ciau Bello,
Today is the
grand voyage day-
Dec. ‘95 & off to Oz.
Have a rip (& a wee
in the sea for me!) and
enjoy the read.
all my love,
meibel

Out of the quiet—a song
Out of the dark—a light
Out of my heart—a wish
for your happiness.
With love

I, too, have wanted
more than a friendship.

Dear Gillian,
I’ll be honest with you — I
bought you this based on
a misreading of the title.

Don’t worry though, this
gift is just to tickle you
over anyway. Once you
tell me your shoe size, I’ll
be able to follow-up a hot
lead I’ve got on attractive
acupuncture shoes so cheap
that even Andy will be able
to chip in.

Still, enjoy the book. It
looks promising — especially
since I fixed the title.

Yours Truly,

L.L.

Sept. 94
This is a nice book about
“life”.
I really got alot out of
it.
It really is “positive”!
Hope you appreciate it!
Love,
Joan

Life laughs and sighs,
Life gives and takes
A pleasure dies,
A memory wakes.
Out of the Night
Arises Morn
When fades the light
The stars are born.
Life takes a part
To make a whole
And kreates breaks the heart
To save the soul.

I can take all the maddness
the world has to give,
but I won’t last a day without
you.

Happy Father’s Day 1995
You’ve always been
like a father to me,
and I love you for it.

Vivian darling—

Salemson always boasted
he would never autograph a
book he didn’t write himself,
but here’s the one that, more
than any other, he would have
wanted to write—with love
and belated birthday greetings,
Buddy.
