Dear Rubin...
1:08:05
I've been thinking about my life
compared to yours.
1:08:09
I come from Bushwick in Brooklyn.
1:08:12
My parents are alcoholics
and my brother's in prison.
1:08:17
I was third in my class,
and I couldn't even read.
1:08:20
I couldn't write you this letter
just a year ago...
1:08:24
but then I met these friends from Canada
when I had a summerjob at the EPA.
1:08:29
They offered to educate me
and they got me out.
1:08:35
Sometimes I feel guilty about my family
'cause I left 'em behind.
1:08:39
Now that I know you,
I know it isn't right.
1:08:44
I shouldn't cry
about my own feelings...
1:08:47
not ifyou can do what you've done.
1:08:50
I've been thinkin' though.
1:08:52
I would like to come and visit you,
if that will be all right.
