Hi Ron,

Since it’s been so long ago I don’t recall talking about you specifically and I may have confused your story with that of someone else (the gay man I reference in my article).

I always thought she had a certain melancholy about her even though she was funny and fun to be around.

I wonder how in the world you found my piece?

I’m glad to talk with you about Ellen. I’ll publish my email address here and leave it up for a few days so you have a chance to get in touch.

I’d love to hear whatever you have to say about her. As I wrote, our friendship was in the beginning stages, who knows how far it would have gone. Within a few years of her death I had a child and quit my job, my husband and I moved etc.
