Dear Elizabeth:

Dear Thelma.  Dear Gloria.  Dear Jefferson.  Dear Melba, and Terrence.  Dear Ernest, Carlotta and Minnijean. (Dear Daisy, too.  Since but for you the Nine would not have made it.)

And I mustn’t ever, ever, forget Dear Linda, whose father made a name for her by going to court to secure a decent education for her and her little sister Cheryl.  

Dear Nettie and Nikki too, just because:

I’m so sorry.
