Kay (Jeanne Cooper), I hope this finds you well and on your way back to Y & R. I have watched the show for many years and it amazes me the new scripts your writers come up with to keep it exciting. You are a part of the great excitement to me. Your character is wonderful and inspiring. I know I am one of many fans who write you but I would be tickled pink to get a Christmas greeting back from you. Have a wonderful holiday and hurry back.
