DEAR ABBY: I joined members of the International Brothernood of Motorcycle Campers (IBMC) who gather from various states for camping and camaraderie. One weekend we camped at Chamberlain Lake in northeast Connecticut.
On Saturday, we made an ice-cream run to Traveler Restaurant, Route 84, Exit 74, Union, Conn. There, in a place of honor on the wall, was your photograph and letter. It was like: WOW! After reading your column for years, I felt like I was meeting an old friend. It made me proud of you. -- JOSEPH E. HICSWA, PASSAIC, N.J.
DEAR JOSEPH: How thoughtful of you to have written. Here's wishing you many more enjoyable ice-cream runs in the future.
