Richard is a very beautiful woman…you are a terrific sports journalist. I would do anything to be with a beautiful sweetheart woman like you.
My name is Paul Heller. I am a diehard Cub fan and I love your interviews. I am 80 and I grew up on Jarvis Street on the north side of Chicago across from Stuart, Ronnie and Eddie Menaker. We played baseball on the street and were good friends. I am wondering if your father is the Ed Menaker who lived across the street. If so, give him and Ron my best.
I love you, Elise. Do you want to be my girlfriend? How old are you? Will you marry me, baby?
