BONNIE GREER, 63, PLAYWRIGHT: 'I was seven and at a
Catholic school in a tough area in the west side of Chicago. On my desk one day I found a Valentine’s card with a
poem: ‘The birds in the air and the fish in the sea … I send you a kiss as I dream of you and me.’ It was touching that someone so young showed such a soul. I never found out
who it was, but given the area we grew up in – rife with gangs
and drug-pushers – I doubt whether he’s even still alive'
