Erika,

That message just made my day. I hope you stalk on back and see this response. I'm now a graduate student at the University of Illinois studying British Imperial history in South Africa. I'm hoping to go back next year. I'm so glad to hear from you! And I am deeply, deeply gratified to hear from you. I am glad PMB rocked you as much as it did me, and your words just touched me deeply.

THANK YOU.

Merry Christmas, too! :)
