Hi Chief Engineer,
I did send you a private message, but not sure if you received it, so just thought I'd paste the text here:
You may remember me - we last met around this time last year on Clacton Pier. I was about to begin working on a comic about the famous Laughing Clown and I wanted to let you know that, finally, it's nearly finished. The reason it's taken so long is because the deadline kept changing and I ended up working on it just on and off for many months, letting other things get in the way. Only recently I've been hard at it, and I'm aiming to get it finished this weekend.
The plan is for it to be published in a book with quite a few other comics in the Autumn some time and, as promised, I will certainly make sure you receive a copy. Meeting you and hearing about your memories was a great inspiration and helped me move it forward, so thank you. Today I am working on the title page, and would like to include your name in 'special thanks' on the bottom if you're happy for me to do so. If so, would you mind just letting me have your full name?
Thanks so much, and I'll be in touch.
Richard Haynes
