Both his words and manner of speech seemed at first totally unfamiliar to me, and yet somehow they stirred memories - as an actor might be stirred by the forgotten lines of some role he had played far away and long ago.

Thanks... when I saw your reply I had already composed and sent my resignation, 9, 50, but 39 & 73.

Then they nicely called and cleared some things up and talked me out of it, so I returned, 47.
