Dear Susan, I am a big fan & have heard about you thru my Haines family. I feel the need to apologize to you as you seem like a really nice person who is very successful & quite talented.
I a member of the Haines family. I am Roger Haines Senior- 1/2 sister. ( We had the same dad ) I am only 61.
That would make Roger Haines, Jr .( & Bev ) my nephew– David Haines great nephew . I believe him to be a total ____. the way he treated you. ( Fill in the blank. )
I guess I am apologizing for the bad behavior of a family member I rarely see but I hear about. I met the Black Eyed Peas when they were traveling in a bus & performed at the Maritime Hall in San Francisco in 1995. I have known David since he was 2 yr. old.
I do hope to meet you someday perhaps in Maui. Kevin & I go to Maui every year to see Tricia, Tyler & Matt & the kids. Rosie ( Matt & Tricia’s mom ) is my favorite relative & my age.
If you ever come to San Francisco, give me a call 415 648-1462. We live on Potrero Hill. Warm regards,
Fran Cullen localchefsf@aol.com
