The letter to Russell

Dear Russell,
I hope you feel on the sunny side of life. I hear you are in the hospital; Oh well, you can't win them all, I guess.
I hope you like jokes because I have millons of them. Here are some.
Two convicts were resting under a tree. One said "How did you get the bloodhounds off our trail" the other said "I threw a penney into the river; and they followed the wrong cent (scent)".
Why do bald men throw away all their keys? Because they have lost

all their locks!
Your friend,
Dana Lovell
P.S. Hope you get home soon. I'll write later. Good-bye for now. Sister and I worked on my penmanship, but efforts were fruitless. I hope you could read it. If you can't, well, you have missed a few good jokes.
About the photo: Found with this letter, in the spot where the photos were taped. Some photographs became detached over the years, so this isn’t confirmed. If you recognize the face or notice a mismatch, please let me know.
For Sister Flatley
A photo of Dana today, for Sister Flatley
I'm putting together updates for Sister Flatley, the class's teacher (Sister Roselle back then), probably printed. If you're comfortable, add a note or a photo of Dana today, and I'll include it.

Memories and notes
No notes yet. Leave a memory or a few kind words for Dana.
Every note comes to me first. I only post the ones I've read, and I only show your first name if you say it's OK. I never show an email or phone number.
