Dear Donna, That's my wife's name too! Very pretty! Please preserve The Big Lebowski for eternity. I've met Jeff Bridges and not only would he love it but all of us dudes out here would hold our heads high (?) and proud if this came to be. I'm sure that you are getting lots of emails with the same request, since "The Dudespaper" dudes asked us to do this email thing, but we really have a very nice community going and it surrounds this terrific piece of movie making. So please, put this on your "to-do" list and we'll stop hassling you! ....Honest! Much love, Abide! Here’s my contribution to the cause……
