He didn't live close by (like my other grandparents did) so we wrote letters to keep in touch. He would start his letters at the top of the paper and wind it around the edges of the page, going aorund and around until he reached the middle of the paper and had to stop writing because he had run out of room! I think I was about 10, and I thought it was the funniest thing. I had to keep turning the letter around and around to read it. These days, the only time I ever write handwritten letters is when I need to write a thank you note. In response to your thoughts about civility, I suggest you read Linzy and Alex's recent posts about not being passive. I think you will be surprised that some of our sixth graders also think that as a society we have lost some of our consideration towards others! Samantha Hi Dawn,
