DEAR SOPHIA,

I’M GIVING YOU A CAUTION SIGN. IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS THE POLITICAL CONVENTION WILL BE STARTING IN CHICAGO. THERE’S GOING TO BE A LOT OF PROTESTS. I WAS 4 YEARS OLD IN 1968 AND I DO REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED THEN. THERE ARE GOING TO BE A LOT OF DISRUPTIONS AND YOU SHOULD AVOID BEING ANYWHERE DOWNTOWN OR WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE COMING TOGETHER FOR POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS. YOU ARE IN YOUR FORMATIVE YEARS SO PAY ATTENTION TO THE CONVENTION BUT KEEP IN MIND MOST OF IT IS ALL BALONEY.

I KNOW YOUR SCHOOL STARTS ON TUESDAY. STAY SAFE AND THE HOURGLASS IS RUNNING OUT OF SAND.

143

LOVE,

DAD
