    Hope Kelly sees this,
    I am an 84 year old fan of Kelly’s having been first acquainted with you about 20 or so years , viewing the weather channel. I recall when she left I sent a communication asking about her and was given a reply. I wished her well and wondered if Kelly ever new about my inquiry. Wishing Kelly and family well.
