Mr. Pinkwater,

Hi my name is Adoramus. Me and my friend Vaneeta` and my parents Big Lou and Mrs. Euch and there friends Head Honcho and Big Cheese don’t know who you are, but we’de like to find out cause you seem like a nice guy. We also would like to say that we like your cigar, no matter what anyone says. And if anyone gives you crap about the cigar the’ll have to answer to us. You may have heard of us because were in select choir. I’ll be looking forward to your reply and I’ll wait by my computer all night so please hurry if you can. Thank you so much for your cooperation.

Adoremus and those other people -- Did you know Art Thieme and Mike Sideman in Chicago? They're from the neighborhood. (I have quit with the cigars mostly--except when I go to see my publisher--he has some good ones).
