      @@gregg.d Oh yeah I know! lol I think tea versus coffee is a generational thing. Most of the youth today prefer coffee because of how place likes Starbucks and Costa have made it more popular. I'm a 50 year old American gay male but when I was in Uni I had loads of British friends that came over here to study. They ALWAYS would ask me "hey mate, when a cuppa?" and they meant tea. I would always say "yes, I'd love one". I've always loved coffee and tea equally but that is a southern thing. I'm from South Carolina and I lot of our culture comes from when Britons came and settled here. We are big tea drinkers down here. Anyway thanks and hello over the Pond! Love hearing from nice people!

    This was a well-put-together video. It also brought tears to my eyes, Chris, because I understood the value of what you did in bringing that letter. I am now 63 years old and have only been out for about 7 years. Yes, I was hidden so to speak all of that time. I also had two opportunities to find someone I could grow old with, but let those pass me by. One of them is quite well off and we keep in touch. I have asked some friends in Seattle if they could help with finding John. I also have academic colleagues that I will ask as well. One friend of mine is a bit older but has well-established contacts in the LGBTQ community in Seattle and I just messaged him. Thank you for this video. I hope for a quick resolution for this for you. Do keep us updated.

      I suppose if someone in Seattle knows a man of about the same age as David, whose name is John, who used to live in Boston, and who maybe once mentioned a fling with a British guy in 1996, that would be enough clues even without his last name!

    I can relate, but for me it was 1981. I went to London. He came to Ohio. He tried to immigrate. We finally gave up in 1985. I haven’t heard from him since, but often wonder what became of him.

      There are so many stories like this in the 80s and 90s. The younger guys can't understand just how different things used to be. Things really haven't changed major until the 2000s+, before that you had to be really discreet because people's families would freak out OR Guys would get scared and stop talking because they thought their family would know they were gay. So many stories. So many romantic loves lost to time and lives.

      I got my first computer and printer in the earlier 90s and already had a typewriter prior to that so this is totally possible. If the handwriting on the envelope is messy that's a believable reason to have used a typed form of writing... I'm not seeing any red flags to this story.
      This is like the plot to a romance novel, I'm sure it will spark ideas for writers.
      If John is still alive and contact is made, even if it just leads to rekindling of a platonic friendship that is something lovely and incredible. 💕🫂👨‍❤️‍👨

    Well done, well edited and mixed as always. Love that you an Art rely on eachother. I can imagine it's hard sometimes to make the minor re-enactments seem natural (like bro finding letter, reaching David. You have to arrange some things to make it viable, totally understand) but you guys do it well. Nice call from your UK pals on Brits staying in same home longer ! And it's fascinating to see the understated, cool, less emotional British reax in David. If you have no experience with Brits, it might seem kinda cold, but it's totally not. Good stuff all around !
