Dear Richard: You probably will be surprised to receive this letter, especially since it has been some time that we have talked with each other. Nevertheless, I do hope that the surprise will be a pleasant one. I met your father recently and he told me of the manner in which you spent the High Holidays in Cleveland. I was so very delighted and so very pleased (and I need not tell you that your father was at least equally delighted and pleased), that I decided to write to you and to thank you. I thank you because, in a way, hearing this kind of news vindicates all the work that I put in to the Springfield Hebrew Day School years ago. It retroactively informs me that my efforts were not all wasted if a Richard Kagan can retain enough from his precollege background to walk to services and observe the Holy Days in the appropriate manner, Thank you again, Richard, and congratulations, too, upon making your parents so proud of you.I look forward to much good news from you in the future. Mrs. Lamm wants to be remembered to you and we hope that we shall have the opportunity of meeting on many happy occasions as the years pass.Cordially yours,Rabbi Norman LammNL/fzP.S. A friend of mine, Mrs. Sally Lewis, teaches in the Biology Department at Western Reserve and her son Aaron is a graduate student. They are very, very fine human beings and good Jews who hail from Calcutta. Please give them my regards when you see them.
