  1. Hey, Ron:

    Mike Bridges here (from East Bennett Street days).

    I like your blog. I plan to forward your internet address to my son, Amos, who has written for the News-Leader for several years. He also covers the courthouse.

    I hope life is going well.

    Take care,

    Mike Bridges
