Some of my most treasured Fan Club memories are found in these early handwritten notes and letters from Erika. Looking at them today brings me right back to those first years, when so much of our correspondence was informal and personal.
Among these keepsakes is a particularly meaningful letter Erika wrote to Fan Club members, explaining that she had entrusted me with handling the Club's correspondence and responsibilities while she was busy with One Life to Live.
I was very young at the time, and I don't think Erika ever realized just how much her trust and encouragement meant to me. More than five decades later, these letters remain very special reminders of where it all began.
