I didn't know you were there until Sunday when Carl said he had talked with you. I didn't know where you were located. I wish Carl would have let me know before then that he'd seen you. I really miss you. I wish you were still in Omaha.

I'm going to have to see this vigil for myself someday, I imagine I would find it an interesting experience being as I'm normally inside the fence looking out at demonstrators.
