"MY FRIENDS AND I SAW YOU TODAY IN FARMINGTON, AND I MUST SAY YOU WERE TERRIFIC!  AND, I WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR MY BEHAVIOR DURING THE SINGING OF 'THE EDMUND FITZGERALD'.  I WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW BY COOPER AND I DID NOT LOOK AT YOU DURING THE ENTIRE SONG.  IF I DID I WOULD HAVE BURST INTO TEARS, NEARLY DID.  I KNEW CAPTAIN MCSORLEY, THE 'FITZ'S' CAPTAIN AND IT WAS JUST TOO SAD FOR ME TO THINK ABOUT HIS BEING GONE.  A FRIEND OF MINE OWNS THE J.W. WESTCOTT, AND I MET CAPT. MCSORLEY AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE FIRST RESPONDERS FROM THE 'ROGER BLOUGH'.  YOU SANG THE SONG BEAUTIFULLY AND I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT......THANK YOU FOR ENTERTAINING US AND ENTERTAIN US YOU DID!   THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT AFTERNOON!
