Our statue was broken
during one of our many housing moves.
That’s why you only see a hand-drawn outline instead of a
photo. I kept the pieces for
years hoping to put Humpty Dumpty together again, but that never happened.
As Valentine’s Day was approaching in 2001, I was working at CDnow. A
message was posted in the “The Blue Pill” (our company
newsletter), asking folks to share their best or worst Valentine story. So, I submitted the story about
"our statue." The following email thread explains the rest of the story. ======================== From: Yale Patrice recently sent a message asking folks to share their best or
worst Valentine story. I
submitted our story that centers on "the statue". The statue I'm referring to is the
same one you have in your bedroom.
I mentioned it to you the first time I visited your home. And now I've got a favor to ask.
I want to take a picture of it.
If that's okay with you, just let me know what would be convenient for
you. I'll drive up to your place
or perhaps you could bring the statue to the office and I'd return it the
next day. ======================== From: Charlotte Of course you can borrow the statue. BTW, your story is beautiful! ======================== From: Yale
