Dear Joe:
Merry Christmas Joe Cates! I hope you enjoy the new outfit, bracelets and hotel room the citizens of Texas and New Mexico have given you as a reward for being on the Texas Department of Public Safety’s 10 most wanted list. It took them 2 years to find you so they could deliver your gifts, and I hope you didn’t think your deeds had been forgotten. Thank you for being there in so many of the great memories I had of my teenaged years. Some of my favorite memories like standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon, building homes form scratch for the poor in less than a week, ski trips to New Mexico and Colorado….as the youth director you were right there in all my great memories from that time in my life. Thank you for not selecting me as one of your victims. Actually, you should probably thank yourself for that decision; you see, I may have reacted a little differently than some of your other victims reacted. Some of those other victims are friends of mine who were on those same trips when you were generous enough to abuse them and do damage that will never be undone.
I’m glad they found you Joe. If you were washing my dishes at your fancy job in New Mexico, and I realized it was you… I am pretty sure it would end up being a bad day for both of us. So enjoy your stay in prison Joe. As one of the tax payers footing your bill, please enjoy all of the prision slop you can handle. If your cell gets a little chilly at night, don’t be afraid to tell the guard that Zach said it was ok to turn the heat up just for you. I want you to be comfortable there Joe; after all it will be your home for a long time. I hope your new roommate is hospitable to you, and bestows some of the same blessings upon you that you bestowed upon so many others.
Yours Truly,
Zach Lewis
