OK, not really inspired by Ray, but not a million miles from the concept of his poem "Remembrance": various celebs write letters to their 16-year-old selves:

I love this poem. I was so fascinated by it when I read it in one of my mother's magazines back in the early to mid 70's. I cut it out and hid it to see if I too would remember. Believe it or not, I did not find it again until cleaning up a bookcase and it is was in one of my books. I was about 14 or 15 when I hid it and I found it at 48. Over 15 moves and 4 different states. Fascinating.

Excellent story, countrykitty58!

Somewhere we have a "introduce yourself" thread. Why not post to it and tell us more about yourself?
