Joey,

I am an Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at Broome Community College in Binghamton, NY.  My students and I conducted Security and Marshal duties at the En-joie Golf Dick's Open this past year.  You sent me an 8X10 autographed picture of yourself to me in September.  I am also a First Responder, and while I was at the fire station helping local flood victims in Owego, NY, my basement flooded, and my autographed picture of you was completely ruined.  I was wondering if you would be kind enough to sign another one for me.  I will gladly pay you for thr new photo and reimburse you for all shipping and handling costs.  Sincerely,

Wes Warren

Joey,

I have been a fan ever since you and Mike Hulbert were the pride of the Southern Tier. (I attended Binghamton North, but about 12 years before you were headed to Ohio St.)  I live in South Florida now, and used to follow your group when you last played Doral and the Honda.  I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure about 10 years ago when I was just a little older than you are now.  I only mention that, because with all the medications, blood thinners etc. that are around now, I don't even know that anything was ever wrong.  If you do what the Docs say, you will be back next season ready to win big.  Best of luck and I hope to catch your rounds at Boca again this year and maybe Naples aws well
