Dear Ann Landers,
The first is to let you know that I spend $1.20 per day for the Asahi Evening News because my day would not be complete if I did not read your column. My second reason for writing is that I am concerned about what will happen to your column when you leave this planet for a more celestial life. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE CIIFFEE! 3 8 3 I don't want to sound morbid, Ann, but no one is immortal. Are you, by any chance, training an apprentice to take over after you depart? Or would you consider an arrangement whereby the newspapers could reprint 30 years of reruns? They would still be fresh to a new generation. Whatever the solution, Ann, I urge you to think seriously of a way your column could continue ad infinitum. It provides a much-needed anchor to a world ever more adrift. -Don't Leave Us on the Boat Alone
