Dear Tom and Ray:

I'll bet you didn't know that your far-flung empire of business holdings includes a restaurant in Damascus, Maryland! I drive past this place, ironically, on my way to visit the trusty mechanics who work on my 1991 Saab. Since it's a Saab and a '91, I travel this route often!

Anyway, here it is: it's on Main Street in downtown Damascus, a small town about 40 miles from Baltimore. I've never eaten there, but with a name like Tom & Ray's, how bad can it be? (Don't answer that!)

Anyway, I thought you might want to get Dewey Cheetham & Howe to look into your possible ties to this establishment. Or at least try to drop in and mooch a free meal!

Bon appetit,

Bruce Jacobs
