I don’t know if you will receive this. I hope you do. I also hope you remember me. You made a lasting impression on me. You were kind and we could relate in our Catholic upbringing. Thirty years is a long time. Think of the lives you have touched. Unfortunately, the profession has not been kind to me. I hope you have enjoyed the next step in your journey. You may not be in the job stated. I hope this note finds you retired and happy. I am not retired but I can say I am happy.
I just wanted to reach out to you. I googled you and this is what I found. I don’t know if you have a way to get to this information, but I am trying to track down the attorney I interned with. All I can remember is his first name was Bill and he was a cat enthusiast.
God bless you. I wish you happiness. hope this reaches you.
