What a gracious man, and what a wonderful writer he is with such an eloquent letter.
The fact that he takes the time to do this shows his true nature and I am moved beyond words.

"I shall continue to aspire in my efforts and contributions to, at the very least, attempt to keep up with your level of thoughtfulness, commitment and kindness."
And I'm sure he will! What humility! How very Johnny'!!

I'm brand new to the Zone, and this is the first thing I read, and my first post. My son and I got to meet him during his recent filming on Public Enemies, and I thought he was so nice at that time. This letter just proves that he is actually "that guy". He doesn't cease to amaze me!

In his time for family and rest, in his time off he actually thought of us?
What a man - and he calls us generous?

I, too, am amazed and humbled by his continuous kindness and compassion...to take time out of his personal time to thank us. What a generous gesture!
I love this line:
"I shall continue to aspire in my efforts and contributions to, at the very least, attempt to keep up with your level of thoughtfulness, commitment and kindness."
Johnny...it is I who continues to aspire in my efforts and contributions to, at the very least, attempt to keep up with YOUR level of thoughtfulness, commitment and kindess. You are an inspiration to me very single day.

My thoughts
exactly, historicalpassion. Almost word for word. Johnny apparently does not realize how much he inspires us. Many cycles that feed each other are not so nice. This one is the best and I, for one, am happy to be part of it.
Thanks Natalie, for sharing this with us.
And thank you Johnny.
