Anoopa's card to her dad
March 12, 2007 10:38 PM
Dennis also found an old birthday card from Anoopa from 1999 when he was working in Honduras.
The card itself said on the outside, “We’ve both really grown over the years. You’ve grown wiser, more understanding, and tolerant.” And on the inside: “…and I’ve grown really proud to have you for my dad. Happy Birthday.”

Dear Daddy,
I have enclosed some pictures that were taken this summer. There is one of us and Gloria and Estefana at La Creperia, me and Uttama at Roatán, the view of the San Francisco Bay, including Alcatraz, a few of the Grand Canyon, one next to some Redwood trees, and then a few of Yosemite. The first one shows Half Dome, a famous site in
Yosemite which I hiked to the top of with some friends from the camp. Happy Birthday! I hope you are enjoying your time in and are having no regrets about taking the assignment. I’m looking forward to seeing you in October, but until then I’ll write you emails frequently and let you know how things are going. My work with OIT is going well and I’m learning a lot. I love you and want to wish you a very happy birthday.
Love, Anoopa XOXO
