The ultimate penpal

Even when I was a teen, I was immediately impressed with Karl's wit and intelligence. 15 years ago when I moved to North Carolina for my second degree, Karl started sending me well thought out, clever, beautiful cards. I know he had many penpals but he still seemed to use his penmanship and excellent writing skills to perfection in each one. They have brightened my life and have helped me through dark and stressful times. I feel so grateful to be able to look through them and feel a little closer to him. He was someone who no one will ever forget. I miss him and feel so grateful to have had him in my life.
