HI Josh,
We read an article about you in the N.Y. Times today! Wow! You’re very successful! I don’t know if you remember us…. Geri and David Young, parents of Steven Young, from Ann Arbor! We were friends of your parents and played Bridge with them. We’d love to hear from you! We’d love to know how your parents are doing and how are your siblings, Andrew and Leslie.
