Dear
Mrs. Lockhart I check my mail every day now.
I love listening to you. I feel
very privileged to be on your list I sometimes feel like a voyeur which comes
with the privilege. I have always felt
that you are such a wonderful human being, and now to share this stage of your
life is a gift that help me to love my grandparents even more. How I wish hay were still alive and doing
what you are doing now. No one ever thought of it though and so we lost
out. you are a wonderful women and I am
so pleased to call you my friend. Thank
you ME Peggy

Dear
Kay,
I,
for one, do not find your stories boring or out of line. And, yes, I hope someone IS keeping hard
copies of your messages (privately, of course).
One of our most intriguing and useful sources of information about times
gone by are diaries kept by women who never expected anyone would read
them. These women certainly did not consider
themselves history-writers! But the view
of the world at that time is invaluable to our understanding of the reality of
that time. So please don't take me off
your list - I'm prompted to think, to reflect, to enjoy, by your postings.
Deborah

Dear
Aunt Kay,
Please
do not take me off your e-mail list. I
love hearing from you even thought I don't respond very often. I know that Esther feels the same way. Your messages are wonderful! E-mail is a great way to stay in touch even
though we are separated
by
space.
Your
party was memorable! May you have many
more. Love, Margaret and Bob

Dear,
Dear Grammie Kay--Every day when I come into my office and turn on my computer,
I wait happily for the latest installment from Mindwalker. For those of us who share your need to
connect with the past, these wonderful memories you have are a treasured
gift. I have always believed that those
of us who do not have the opportunity to share in the memories and wisdom of
our elders are so much the poorer for it.
It is part of the Lord's order, that these things be passed on. Thank heavens for email, which makes it so
accessible, when we are bound to our homes by work, business, or infirmities.
I
love stepping back in time to an earlier Bryn Athyn, an earlier world, with
your memories. It satisfies my need to
time travel! It is my sincere hope that
the only thing that will stop these wonderful messages will be when Mindwalker
makes the Final Journey. Until then,
don't hesitate to believe that there are many of us for whom your messages are
a wonderful way to start the day.
Those
who don't want to share can just hit the delete button! I doubt there are many of us. I look forward to your next message. Gail.

I
kept Deb's note here because for some reason I didn't get the original that it
was replying to until after I received this.
But I felt a little distressed when I read Grammie Kay's message
"poo-pooing posterity". I
second what Deb has said here. I hope
Elsa or the computer system or someone is keeping Grammie Kay's postings. They are a wonderful insight into the heart
and mind of a dear lady who has 90 years of wisdom to share with the
world. And as Deb said, you don't need
to be thinking that you are writing for posterity. But your stream-of-consciousness-sharing-of-your-thoughts
is a treasure.
I
love to read your postings, even if I don't get to them right away, I don't
delete them until I've read them.
Love
Kris
