Your Letters Are Like Gold! No, Like Platinum!

Good day. Thanks for visiting me. I'm John Bruton. My friends call me "Trae." I'm a Floridian - born and raised in Winter Park, next door to Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World, Orlando. I'm 42, unmarried, six-feet, 195 pounds. The picture is of me from Central Florida.

I have a quick sense of humor. I make friends easily. I'm loving and lovable. By nature I'm a non-violent person, unless very unreasonably provoked. I'm a good listener, a people-person - both an appealing conversationalist as well as an avid correspondent. I like writing to interesting people. I'm also working on my first novel.

I'm the "outdoorsy" kind. For some time, I was a successful professional water-ski instructor at Disney World. I like water sports, play a fair round of golf, am all-around athletically inclined... definitely an active person.

I'm an ardent reader of action, fact or fiction. But I read what I can get my hands on. Reading is my favorite sport here.

I would thoroughly enjoy receiving letters from interesting ladies and answering them from my temporary residence. (I don't have access to the Internet.) When you write, as I hope you will, you'll get replies that humbly-but-accurately shout, "I ROCK!" You won't be disappointed.

How did I wind up here? The old, old story. I enjoyed the good times too much, found myself with high-rollers but with low ambitions. I discovered drugs were not only habit-forming and destructive... but costly and immensely enslaving. When money ran low, dominated by that satanic-craving and quiet desperation, plus a drug-impaired cranium, I opted to "supplement" my income the "easy" way. (East Way = Hard Time).

I have wonderful parents and was raised properly by these loving, fine parents. I'm a
God-loving, God-fearing man. This place where I find myself in a bona fide Rehab Center, a State Corrections Institute, and I have been corrected! There will be no "class reunions" after I leave. I won't ever look back!

As places like correction facilities go this is one of the better ones. I also go to school here and work hard at furthering my education. Letters I receive from friends aid immensely in eliminating mind-numbing boredom.

So, dear potential friend, write to me. And please include your "snail mail" address. I regrettably don't have access to the Internet. Letters are like gold to me. No, make that platinum, I'll be delighted and thoroughly relish meeting you that way. I'll write back. It's my favorite thing. The ball's in your court. Thanks in advance. Above is my address.
