I was reading a touching story of how Howard Jones’s parents ran his fan club and would pick up fans from the train station to take them to their HQ. They would also respond to fan mail ✍️ with words of encouragement to kids going through difficulties. Howard says people still come up to him with letters they received from his parents. I wish we had similar video footage of DM’s fan club Bong.
