Letters, etc., From MaryJane #4

Every evening, for the remainder of the month of November, my posts will be dedicated to the memory of my dear friend, MaryJane, who recently passed away.  I will be posting an assorted combination of excerpts of letters she wrote to me, anecdotes, and funny stories.

If you haven't already read..."Taking The Train To MaryJane", and "Visited With MaryJane Today", here are the links to do so:

"Dear Gina,

                   et al

I saw our beloved Knute this morning on Channel 2.  He was frolicking and frisking and gamboling in his lovely confines at the Berlin Zoo.

He seemed very interested and curious in everything around him and was enjoying his life immensely.  And why not?  Everyone loves him and he is a joy to behold.

He has grown into a fine big boy.

Love, MJ  &  Finbar"

***Letter written to me by MaryJane, dated 5/18/08.  "Knut" was the little Polar Bear who was abandoned by his mother at the Berlin Zoo and subsequently raised by zookeepers.  Unfortunately, Knut only lived 4 years, as he passed  away from encephalitis.  Needless to say, MaryJane and I were very distraught with the news of Knut's death.***

Little Knut in happier days...
