Your dad’s name is Charles- does that help?

[notsocreepylurker]

Thank you everyone - glad it's not just me & dad that can't read it.

It is from Peter whom he knows from the college they both worked at for 40+ years. My dad is getting an honor in December so we assumed this was in relation to that somehow.

This made me laugh way more than I should have - I literally LOL'd

[wildrice]

It is this kind of thing that doesn't make me sad that cursive is not being taught much anymore.

Also has this guy heard of email? A post card? Lol.

I'm no help beyond what's already been provided.

I just deleted the Provost invitation but I will figure...

[FastHands]

I think he's saying he deleted the invitation from the provost but confirming he's going to be there. Last line is a mystery...

[jinkies]

Yup. Was just about to say this .

[mbcdefg]

I recently got an email from NJCU (alumna) and it says that faculty and staff will be in robes for convocation. So maybe it’s a professor?

I don’t see a “Relo” on staff so it’s probably another first name. No idea what the last name is.

PS - I'm being kidnapped as we speak. I hope you can decipher the location of my lockbox full of money to pay the ransom that I've encoded in this message. You are my only hope.
