Subject: Fan for 48 Years!<\/p>\n

Dear Bobby,<\/p>\n

On September 4, 2010, I will be attending the Bobby Curtola show in Calgary and I can hardly wait!<\/span><\/div>\n
I have been one of Bobby’s most loyal fan for 48 years, since I heard him on the radio as he sang “Fortune Teller”.<\/span><\/div>\n
In 1965, when Bobby came to the Calgary Stampede, I was a chambermaid at the hotel Bobby stayed in and I got<\/span><\/div>\n
to clean his room! I didn’t sleep for a week! I still get goosebumps thinking about how excited I was.<\/span><\/div>\n
Then I went to a concert in Calgary where Bobby was singing and I thought I’d faint with excitement! I was right next to the stage!<\/span><\/div>\n
4 years ago I got a\u00a0“Christmas Wish Pillow” with pictures sewn into plastic windows on the pillow.<\/span><\/div>\n
There was Bobby’s picture, because my sister knew I have always wanted to meet him. That was still my wish!<\/span><\/div>\n
Now I am going to his concert and I am bringing my pillow, my records and my CD’s that Bobby autographed on<\/span><\/div>\n
my 60th birthday, 3 years ago. I listen to them all the time and can sing any song off by heart.<\/span><\/div>\n
I dance around my house, listening to the cd’s snapping my fingers and pretending I am 15 again.<\/span><\/div>\n
Bobby’s music\u00a0does that to me!<\/span><\/div>\n
At 63, I can’t believe I am going to a concert again and I alreay feel so excited.<\/span><\/div>\n
As Principal of a primary school, I think this is what we all need in our lives.<\/span><\/div>\n
Someone who gets our blood pumping, a national hero, someone we have followed all our lives and love.<\/span><\/div>\n
I hope I get a chance to meet Bobby. I feel like he is my friend, because I got to clean his room at the<\/span><\/div>\n
Highlander Hotel and he left me\u00a0 some Coke!<\/span><\/div>\n
At 16, I remember a new-comer to the music scene. The boys in my class tried to dress like him, using<\/span><\/div>\n
a ton of Brylcream on their hair. I thought he was ridiculous, gyrating all over the stage. Give me Bobby Curtola<\/span><\/div>\n
anyday I remember thinking. That fellow Elvis was a wierd-o.<\/span><\/div>\n
At 18, I was still loving Bobby Curtola\u00a0and Bobby Vinton, and along comes another strange group of boys,<\/span><\/div>\n
long hair, annoying music, and what a strange name….The Beatles!\u00a0\u00a0 Give me my Bobby Curtola.<\/span><\/div>\n
Well, I am more mature now, I have learned to love Elvis, The Beatles, and lots others, but the records I<\/span><\/div>\n
have the most of are Bobby Curtola’s.<\/span><\/div>\n
Thought you’d like to know this, Bobby. You beat out Elvis and Ringo in my books!<\/span><\/div>\n
See you in September in Calgary. I’ve already got my tickets in my hot little hand!<\/span><\/div>\n
Your fan for life,<\/span><\/div>\n
