Happy Birthday, Ms. Adams. I saw you yesterday on an Andy Griffith rerun and thought to look you up on Wikipedia. Lo' and behold, it is your birthday!

I have to confess that for years I did not like you :) It was sort of your own fault. The first time I saw you I was about 12 years old and you were the female antagonist in Tickle Me. Considering that for me puberty began when I first laid eyes on Elvis, you didn't stand a chance.

That's all in the past of course, and I am very glad to see that you are well and still active in your craft. From my viewpoint, you have had a wonderful career, and I wish you continued good fortune.

Sincerely,
Susan Witherspoon
