I wish to thank the past associates from C & A who kindly responded to my January letter.

It was wonderful to receive such nice letters.

However, I wish to apologise to those of you who also may have responded but did not receive a reply from me.

This is because of a disruption in the postal service in my vicinity during late January-February when some mail may have gone astray.

I would not want anyone to think I had ignored them.

Alan Ryan, South Pasadena, Florida.
