A couple of days ago an old friend told me about an old friend who recently got married to someone called Ron Baatz.
Yesterday I had a closing (I’m a realtor) and while going through the “walk-through” prior to the closing, I was admiring this big picture on the wall of a handsome elephant. I love elephants more than any of creature.
Last night I decided to google Ron Baatz to find out about him. I had heard that he once lived up here in the Hunter Mountain area where I live now. I don’t know if you are the Ron baatz who married Andra.
However, I was so very pleased to have had the opportunity open up for me to read your work (and the elephants). The way in which you write makes me feel very comfortable in that it is not at all ‘haughty’. On the contrary, it is very down to earth and the language so real in its explanation.
So, basically I wanted to say hi and let you know that it was of divine design that I came across your writing.

With love, betsy
