I just received this letter.

[Bookman]

I have no idea why I received it. The envelope is addressed to me, but I'm not the addressee on the letter.

The letterhead is The Vara Company, Inc. That company is no longer in existence. The return address on the envelope shows Vara Properties, L.C., and this entity's registered agent is Richard Haberman.

Richard Haberman signed this letter, but he goes by "Porky." Attached to this letter is a note:

Your footprints are imperceptible, but your imprint on young lives is indelible. Slowly, they’ll come to realize your unselfish gifts and be thankful. In the meantime, we’ll try to fill your heart with our unconditional appreciation and as much applause as we can muster for the way you live your life and lift up the lives of all around you.

I wouldn't have had to look up where Flatonia was.

 

[Bookman]

That's Porky!

The letter I received stated this:

Wow! Just Wow! I used to work for "Porky" Haberman over the summer during college at UT. I can't say I'm fond of him.

The top 10 teachers in Texas would give his letter a B-.

Bookman,
I received the same letter.

Funniest thing though, on the envelope my city's name is misspelled.
Instead of Lockhart, it reads Kockhart.


What a dick!

 

[Bookman]

I suppose that's better than "Kockhard."

I bet Porky did a lot of drugs back in the 60s.

 

[MilkmanDan]

It's going to be awesome if he accidentally sent the letter to everyone in the Texas Exes' database.

Do I have to do all of the interweb investigatory stuff in this place?

I grew up close to Flatonia and they all have last names like that.

Aggy's excuse for losing to us next year: we didn't lose, we were not capable of meeting the challenges of meeting well funded competition with limited resources.

 

[Texanne]

Well, **** ... I teach, but I didn't get any letter from Porky.

But I teach in a community college, so I guess that's why.

I wonder if my sister, a high school teacher and Texas Ex, got one.

Was Porky trying to get you to buy a book that contains your listing?
