It's the purity of passion that you work with, the kindness that you are capable of and the all-inclusive vision that wants this planet to be beautiful despite all the cruel tentacles of development that are spreading and making this world look poorer day by day. I respect you as a good and pure soul who has abundant energy to go beyond the confines of a successful profession. I would like to know you personally but my life conditions don't permit me to dream about any such thing. Good luck. Lots of good luck. Dear Jane,

How do you come up with the names for each of them? They seem to really fit their names (i.e. Flint, Flo - those are two I recall from past shows.)
