Story 118 Background


                                                                Posted by Allan.
        Due to a major rebuild of this section of our story-line, this has become the last story of Volume 8. It is not sexy, was never meant to be. The only purpose is to build on the two men Mootie and Joseph.
        As you may remember Joseph when we first met him worked for a Game Reserve in India. As the stories progressed he became the Head Gamekeeper. See those very early letters – Letter 2 and Letter 14. Of course in the first few stories of Volume 5, we learn that Joseph and Lizamoa have moved to New Zealand and he has taken up a job at the Waitakere Regional Park.
       Mootie, whom we first met in Letter 14 but came to know better in Letter/Story 63 and Letter/Story 66, began working for Joseph and worked his way up to take over as Head Gamekeeper when Joseph left.
       We thought it might be interesting to let Joseph show Mootie around his new park. That is the reason for this story. The real head ranger is not a man called Kevin. This has been changed to protect the privacy of the real men who have held this position. The name Kevin came from an ex-boyfriend of Susan. 

      This post led to a major redevelopment of the Letters Web Site. Here Allan gave some background information about the two men Joseph and Mootie. Anne liked this so much that we began a special page listing all the characters of the Letters Stories and with some background about each. This page was intended to be updated as more stories were written.
