I too use the salutation of <i>friend</i> at the start of my correspondances. As you know from reading the book his friends were loyal, even years after his death.Jeff Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680146273701688630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4127229959267257059.post-91590187363831410372010-06-30T13:48:04.334-07:002010-06-30T13:48:04.334-07:00Thank-you Jeff...your analysis sure makes sense [g...Thank-you Jeff...your analysis sure makes sense [good chance they were potential recruits].Also,after studying the details of both photo's,it sure does appear that both photos were taken on the same day.<br /> <br />BTW ...I love the # 317 [also the address # of Jeff Smith's Parlor LOL] subtlety used by JRS II for the number of men in his contingency.Apparently JRS II enjoyed using psychological ploy's not only with 'marks' but also with those opposing him...like the 101.<br /><br />Another aspect I enjoy about that era...the salutations etc. 'Friend Jeff' [I have started using such,and folks like it] also ....'beyond the range' ..."I'll see you beyond the range"...just beautiful IMHO. It's both poetic and meaningful.<br /><br />My best.<br />Rich HennesseyRich Hennesseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4127229959267257059.post-80382980866770258092010-06-23T23:13:32.233-07:002010-06-23T23:13:32.233-07:00He has often expressed his desire to attend but li...He has often expressed his desire to attend but lives several states away and can't break away from his very hectic schedule. I am attempting to get the Magic Castle to set up a screen to play it. After that we are looking into a band to possibly record it and make billions.Jeff Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680146273701688630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4127229959267257059.post-10714156323158754352010-06-23T13:36:22.197-07:002010-06-23T13:36:22.197-07:00What a great tribute!
