Dear RoksnRoots,
Please forgive me for not asking your permission to mention Benton MacKaye 
without your approval.  I was not aware that I was crossing some sort of 
line and promise you to not mention him again without submitting said 
context to you first.  While we're on the subject, do I have your permission 
to even think about him every now and then?  If so, how much and in what 
way?  If not, then that's cool too since I realize I'm not the sharpest 
knife in the drawer and thinking too much sometimes hurts.

BTW, how'd you get the trail name RoksnRoots?

The invite to the SoRuck was genuine and is still on the table.  I think you 
are a fascinating person and at least as full of BS as anyone I have ever 
known and almost as much as me.  I would love the opportunity to chat with 
you for a while.  Do you play guitar or anything else?  How would you like 
to gather with some of the finest people who ever loved the trail concieved 
by Him Whom I Shall Not Mention Again and sing Louie Louie in cabin C?  I 
promise you will never forget it.  Say...was Louie Louie even written back 
when BM was around and what are the words?
Your friend,
Tin Man
