Hi Folks, I'm writing an article for Voices in the Middle, a middle school language arts magazine for teachers and would like to use the quoted "Dear John" passages below. Unfortunately, I can't find the source. The original posting of this piece on the internet (http://www.interstice.com/~max/humor/0120.html) gave two sources: Arturo Bejar and Gorden Garb. After contacting both by email, each informed me they had found the quote elsewhere, but had forgotten where. I hope since the passage deals with punctuation, perhaps and ATEG member might have seen this before. Does anyone know where this originated? Dear John: I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy. Will you let me be yours? Gloria Dear John: I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people, who are not like you. Admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me. For other men, I yearn. For you, I have no feelings whatsoever. When we're apart, I can be forever happy. Will you let me be? Yours, Gloria I would appreciate any help you might offer. Thanks, Harry Noden Dance like nobody is watching. Love like you'll never get hurt.
