Sending Valentines was not a custom here. It is starting now with some young people. When I was 11 I started learning English. It was not compulsory in school then until you were 14. Now all teenagers here speak English. But mum was teaching me and I started corresponding
There was this man M in New York He would never tell me his age. He sent me a picture of him wearing a police uniform. I somehow never trusted that man. I don't know what it was.
We knew nothing about things that we know to day but I used to say he must be a cradle robber. Anyway he was the one who sent me Valentines for years. That is how I discovered Valentines Day.

    awe, I wonder where that man is now.  I wonder if he would remember you!  Maybe it is a blogger right here on SC now!!

    Quiet.  Then he would have to be old. I wonder where he is too. I saw his name in the phone directory when I was a stewardess and in New York. I was 23 then. I did not trust him well enough to phone him. There was something.

    I would have been leary also.

    Yes quiet it is better to be careful and to use our intuition when it warns us.

    A bit of caution will save you a lot of heartache.  You were probably right to trust your instinct.  Though, the gift of Valentine's day sure a perk.
  • skald said on Feb 13, 2008....
     Uniquely Yes the Valentines were good . It was the way the wrote that put me on guard.

    skald - do you suppose he was angling for a pretty european bride?  That's a little creepy if you're on target with how much older he was.
  • skald said on Feb 13, 2008....
    No for a child. I was 11. But I would never know. I had not idea of those things then and I will never know but there was something fishy. He was talking to me as if I was a grown woman. You know hinting things.

    ugggh! truly sick.  I'm glad it didn't come to anything and that you were wise beyond your years.
  • skald said on Feb 13, 2008....
    Besides it was so far away and not many tourists like now coming here. I did not suppose then that I would ever meet my pen pals.

    Skald, its so interesting to find out how you eventually learned of Valentine's day :-)  It is my sister's birthday tomorrow on Valentine's day and she is still in London on business, but I will not see her again as she will be leaving the office early and flying back to South Africa tomorrow evening. . .I am sorry for her that she is flying on her birthday.
  • skald said on Feb 13, 2008....
    Polar.  I am sorry for both of you that you can't be together on her birthday and still she was so near.
