A Letter A Day

One year, 365 letters. A letter a day. My resolution for 2006. I’ve always enjoyed writing letters and I want to get back in the habit. I'm not limiting myself to a letter a day. 365 is just the minimum. My goal is to get a 20% response rate. This is the official chronicle of my “year of writing letters.” Thanks for reading! - Chris Lucas

February 16th

Thursday February 16th

Occasionally I’ll stumble upon a magazine or newspaper article that gets my attention. This happened today when I came across a periodical called “Stylus” about people who collect pens. (no, I’m not making that up.) This particular story was about a Doctor from my home state of New Jersey who collects rare and luxury pens. He owns over 900 of them. He even mixes his own ink. What drew me to this story was the fact that this doctor appreciates and promotes the art of writing letters, the whole point of this project. I am sending him my own letter to compare notes, as it were. (I am also hand writing this letter, as opposed to the computer type written letters that have gone out to all the others.)

Dr. Sushil Mehandru

Chief of Nephrology at big New Jersey hospital and a kidney specialist, Dr. Mehandru is a very busy man, but takes the time to appreciate his collection and to correspond daily. His hobby began at age 13, as a boy in Punjab, India. In later years, he competed in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
