Hi Everyone, I have now sent you everything that I have which was posted by Carly on AOL. I haven't finished reading through everything myself but it is quite fun. I think I am intentionally not reading everything at once so that I can savor it! I will be sure to share anything else Carly-related with you. Tom ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Jan 1999 07:34:34 -0700 From: "Manning, Thomas (Tom)" Subject: RE: thank you Tom! Adel, et al, You are more than welcome. I wish I had been on AOL when Carly was logging on regularly. That must have been so exciting. For any of you AOL-lurkers out there, I would love to hear the story behind "The knives are in the cabinet". I can't listen to the "Wives are in Connecticut" without thinking of that line. And yes, unfortunately someone did post something about moving to NYC to seek out Carly. I never know if such posts are real or if someone is just trying to get everyone into a tizzy. I just ignore them and hope no harm comes to Carly. Take care, tom > ---------- > From: Adel Perkins[SMTP:adel_perkins@hotmail.com] > Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 1999 2:05 PM > To: hotcakes@smoe.org > Subject: thank you Tom! > > I have LOVED reading the Carly letters from America Online.
