I absolutely appreciate and admire all four of you ladies in the production. My wife and I Having spent 18 months in the UK, helping to computerize the British 1881 census, has given me a fondness for the programs and the people. I do not normally write fan mail during my 79 years of life. But you and your fellow actors resonated with me in this production.

Thank all of you.
