Re: Pen Pals?
One of my penfriends was a young man from Jordan. Can’t recall how we were initially put in touch with each other but we corresponded for quite a while. He wrote really interesting letters. However, one day he asked me how many sheeps (sic) and cows my parents had and when I replied ‘none’ the correspondence sort of fizzled out. My mother said I should ask him how many I needed for a dowry – but I think she was kidding. Well I hope she was….
...anyway he said he was going to America to stay with an uncle and study to be a doctor, mentioned calling to see me on our family estate one day. As the only estate with regard to my family was the Council estate I lived on, it was probably just as well our ‘connection’ ceased.
