I think of your time with us at The Irish Times with great fondness. I hope you and your family are well, and congratulations on your book. In 2001, the newspaper hit hard times and one-third of the staff had to leave. I chose to go then, and have been slef-employed since then, and getting a good deal of support from my former colleagues in the Times. I had lost your email address and changed my own, and was afraid I had completely lost contact with you. Then I came across your kind reference to Caroline and I, though you owe us little. It was clear to me that you were intelligent, hardworking and respectful of other people, and with those three things going for you, you were bound to succeed. Since I saw you, I have two lovely grandchildren. With very best wishes and thanks again, Kieran My Dear Sugata
