Once upon a time…
…there was a child who lived in the cradle of world culture, Italy. The child had a family who loved him, and a grandmother to whom he remains devoted to this day. The child went to school but could not connect with other children. He felt too different, and so he was afraid of them. His grandmother knew this and decided to help him. So one evening she said: "Now grandmother will bring you to a fantastic place, where no matter about your difference, where you can be who you are without fear." So every evening the grandmother brought him across the world. The trip lasted less than an hour and each time he returned home, his mind was lighter, more sympathetic to the other, less frightened. Then, one day his grandmother had to move to another city where she could not bring the child. The child was in despair, he was afraid of getting lost again without his grandmother. So grandmother said to him: "My child, you are now able to go alone to the place where I brought you. You know that to go to that place, it is sufficient to turn on the television. Grandmother will do the same even if she is far away and so we’ll travel together. "
Today that child is a young man. He has a job, he has a lovely partner and many friends. He has learned that his differentness is not an obstacle in his relationship with others, quite the opposite it makes possible this relationship.
His grandmother is no longer physically present. Not even the place where she brought him, the now lost city of Santa Barbara. His grandmother and that place are now inside him and nobody can take them away from there.
For many years that child has searched for Bridget & Jerome Dobson, the creators of that place. Now at last he found them. He is in touch with them. He was finally able to thank them and now Bridget Dobson has agreed to make a Christmas gift to all of us: a good wishes’ letter written in 1985. It is a letter full of love and affection. Friends, breathe in deeply. Let's get back together to the city of Santa Barbara.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Bridget & Jerome Dobson!
I'm so happy you have found them. Are you going to be doing an interview with them? Because I'm starting up a soap talk/interview show that focuses on the former stars and behind the scenes talent of 'Santa Barbara.' Currently, I write an updated version of 'Santa Barbara' called 'Return to Santa Barbara' that is also re-launching in January. You can find it here: http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/blog/60-return-to-santa-barbara/ Check em both out and I sincerely hope that one or both of us can do an interview with them! Merry Christmas!!!!!
