Hello I just want say that I am a writer here in New York. I've been writing short stories for over twenty years now since I was an active member of the US Navy. While I was stationed aboard the USS Kittyhawk some years ago I met a Flipina woman whose name was Mariamelda Lota. We dated for awhile then we got married in 1975 and in May of the following year she "blessed me with a baby girl whom we named Marialuisa. Luisa was her third child but her only one from me. She was a beautiful Filipina baby and child.when she started school back in 1983, her teachers all remarked that she was an exceptionally brilliant child who loved school. Luisa grew up to be a very pretty Filipina girl who was loved by everyone. She won at least two local pageants in her home province of Bicol and was loved by every man in the province! When she turned twenty years old in 1996, she was "crowned her barrio's fiesta queen at patronal fiesta, a year later she celebrated her devu party also in her home town in Bicol in which I and several of my friends along with our wives attended in May 1997. Then in 1998 my wife and I filed for a divorce. This was the first of two major heartbreaks for Luisa; the second and what I feel was responsible for her disappearance ( & death in Sacrifice Valley in October 1998) was when she was shown a picture of her fiance with another woman. Since this had occured and also after my father's death in 1999. I've been writing about her life. My stories included her life in general.(title was our Marialuisa) the next story was about her devu party entitled "Marialuisa her devu and the third Marialuisa her final days. I am in the porcess of getting these stories copyrighted here in the United States. When this is completed I would like to share with every one of your readers, these stories. I'll pay you whatever it costs for the printing up of these stories thank you very much for your attention & consideration.
Sincerely,
Richard James O'Hanlon Jr.
