We get some strange letters, but this is one that really stands out for me. Here it is. It ran in this week's print edition:

Were you at
Treasure Island?

Were you at Treasure Island Casino with your daughter on Friday evening, April 18? My dad is looking for you.

Here’s what he tells me:

He was on his way to Wisconsin and stopped in for a glass of beer. He sat at a stool down from you. The two of you spoke long enough for you to share that your daughter lives in Eden Prairie and you in Chanhassen. You and Dad traded RV-ing stories. Both of you are widowed. He said that it would be fun to get together sometime for coffee, but since he’s never done this before, didn’t think until he was down the road a ways that he REALLY would like to see you again. Alas, he didn’t know where to begin.

That’s where I came in. The Eden Prairie News seemed the only option.

So … here we are. His nickname is Swanie and he’s a really nice guy (Lots of other people say that, too!). Now it’s up to you.
