And he really means it. He had a
brilliant military career and was IN
London many months where he met
many great people. He is good look

But he is that modest if he knew I
was telling even you about him he
would not like me at all. So don't
please tell He has recently almost
doubled his business.

ried to. That never works Married

| light o. love" in Kansas City and to
| show how much he cares about her he
buys and presents to her a fur coat.
