Day 623

Dearest Hannah,

It’s been 44 days since I’ve seen or talked to you.

I just got off the phone call I wrote about yesterday. Gosh, I was so nervous- but I think that I handled it pretty well. lol It looks like we’re going to be making a trip to middle Tennessee very soon because of this call. Gosh, I’m excited to learn even more history. There is a historian there who is well-known for his collection about a certain world-famous Tennessee whiskey (hint: your father has been to this distillery, I think.), and he also has a lot of information/items in his collection about J.W. Kelly and other Chattanooga distilleries. He also is incredibly interested in our museum/distillery idea. This call set a huge wheel in motion, I feel it. This is the first time I’ve been happy and excited in awhile. (like 44 days, actually). We’ll see where this goes. For now, it is another door swinging open for us.

I’m doing my part in this for you, baby. Remember that. I love you.
