String within a String Expression?

[Forbes]

How do I get str2 to recognize str1 within it's expression, and not just as text?

Private Sub cmdButton1_Click()

Dim str1 As String
Dim str2 As String

str1 = "Hello"
str2 = " John said str1 to me yesterday"

'How do I get it to recognize str1 in the above statement as a String and not text?

Me.txtBox1.Text = str2


End Sub

How about:

str2 = " John said " & str1 & " to me yesterday"

This worked perfectly, thank you!
