Helen Thomas wrote me back.
I emailed Helen Thomas a few days ago regarding her Birthday.

I wrote:
Thank you for being the only journalist around that is actually doing their job. God bless you for all the good that you have done. You are admired and loved.

Happy Birthday Helen.

She wrote back:
nice to have a friend-helent
-----------------------------

I did not expect that she would write back and am thrilled that she took the time to reply considering her busy schedule.


Helen, you bet that you have a friend. You have millions of friends out here. We love you..

4. It might take a while
(she's a busy lady) but Helen always replies.

I framed mine.



“This is the worst president ever,” she said. “He is the worst president in all of American history.”

10. She replied to an email of mine once too
I just thanked her. Really similar to just what you said and she wrote me back saying -- Thanks. That's it, one word but I told everybody we were email buddies :)

She's the greatest.
