I am hoping this e-mail gets to Dean just in case it doesn't need to Say it!
Dear Dean,
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Kim Cooke! Hello Dean, gosh I feel like I have known you forever, I have record of your emails back to September 2007. I have used a variety of different user names which someday I hope to clear that up. I started following you in 2005 when I became sick then eventually disabled. You were delightful and entertaining and gave me encouragement when all I could do is be sick. Took years to get better, body never will be 100%. Before I continue, I want to thank you for being my friend, you have never given up on me!
