"Happy birthday, Nick!
Today’s the day, I suppose, I ought remind you of what an integral part of my Hofstra happiness you were…a gift for which I’m ever grateful; I can’t imagine those classes without your earnest dedication and terrific sense of humor, not to mention your consistently insightful readings of films, scenes, ideas. Thanks for helping to make my job more than a job but the experience for which I’d wanted to be a teacher of film in the first place (so that we keep learning things with each other!, and talking about them allows for discoveries otherwise not possible). I hope that, whatever you’re doing in the world, you’re happy.
Enjoy your day and year (and after…).
warmly, and e’er gratefully,
kristi"
