Kathy to Hilary, July 25, 1973, Tehran, Iran. Inshallah you shall see me less than 10 days from today! Love, Kathy That's all! Thanks for checking in. Bye! Khodahafez...ba man o khoda! And so ends the Tehran <-> Washington, DC 1970-1973 teen girl blog. Looks like we overlapped there by about six weeks, only. Thanks, Kathy and Hilary, for sharing those letters with all of us. All the best! (In reply to Kathy's remark: Yes, 'twas Gibson who stopped blogging, restarted, and finally left the blog aside to return to ''real'' writing. On the other hand, Sterling is back at it at Wired. And we'll have to wait to see what happens to Julie as she outplaces from her job and works in earnest on The Book of the Julie/Julia Project. Anyway. Hope to hear more from you, yadda, yadda. And thanks.) 9:44:42 AM    comment []
