Hey Mike,

Loved the Petra Video. Did you find the Holy Grail?

I am getting married on August 31st, 2003, but not in Petra. In Seattle. Just wanted to give you a shout out and let you know I am proud of what you have done pal and I miss you. Way to go!!!

I need your home address - I want to send you an invitation. I know you probably won't be back, but at least you can reminisce when you return.

Keep on keeping it together.

Your friend
Pete
