Hi Thomas,
 
Yes, a very Merry Christmas to you too.
 
Thank you for sending me this photo of the deleted scene [re: a rescued film frame from the deleted scene with Mario and Vickie in # 004 visible in the Production Office — Cut Film Frames section]. I actually don't remember the scene. Nice to see a young Jamie Rose again.
 
Stay well and stay in touch.

Dear Thomas,
 
[...] Thanks for the Christmas greetings. I'll attach my card below, which you've no doubt seen because it's the only one I ever send these days.
 
Scarecrow [the reunion for the 40th anniversary of the "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" TV series in Los Angeles in October 2023] was a lovely event. I was quite surprised to have been invited because although I appeared in two episodes the roles were quite small. They were significant enough, I guess, because the fans were many in number and full of compliments. [...]
 
Life is good. I'm reasonably healthy for someone going on 93. I managed to get a few articles published in a national magazine this past year. So the brain is still working fairly well. I do brain and body exercises daily, by the way. Use it or lose it as the saying goes.
I'll attach one of my articles. You'll have no trouble in "getting it", I'm sure. It's a takeoff on sloppy English where people use the word "in" instead of "into."
 
Do give my best to Dörthe and give each other a hug from me.
 
Alles Gute, [All the best,]
Carl

Dear Thomas,
 
[...] I am doing great. Took 3 amazing acting classes and am ready to rock and roll this new year! [...]
 
Hugs to both of you and much love.
 
Leaving this week to see my brother, and then my son comes into town. Looking forward to all life brings... and work ;-)

Thanks, Thomas & Dörthe,
 
[...] Thanks for the seasons good wishes and we wish you the same. I am feeling stronger and Connell is still his strong, vibrant self.
 
[...] Have a lovely holiday, enjoy yourselves and each other.
