Dear Ma & Pa & all the sundry kin, Im real sorry I couldnt make it to the moutain fer what was bound to be a real good time. I imagine I kin smell Mas fancy eats from all the way down here at Flatland State. Thanksgiving here at the dorm was so different I dont know if I can do it justice. They had this big scrawny bird thing, and the gravy was dry. I mean, realy dry. I tried to light it and it didnt work. They got no sense of tradition here. And they served it with this real soft bread and taters out of a new can, so it wasnt all bad. I took a whole loaf of the bread and peeled the crust off and made a real good baseball out of the rest - just took squeezin it some. They got these checkered walls with these wheels in'em, and when you turn them just right its like a warm thunderstorm. Its realy realy nice. I like soap so much the flatland boys all call me Lather. Sure beats when they called me Polecat at fust, cause they all said I stunk. It helps ifn I shuck my britches before soaping all up. I was gonna tell you about my new lady friend. She is really something - talks all funny though, not like hill folk. She tells me I talk funny. Maybe Xmas I kin bring her a'callin and show her what plain folk talk like. Im sorry if this letters hard to read. Theyre teachin me all kinds a new words here and how to use them. It gets to be a habit. Mama, try to get off yer knees once in a while. Im enclosing some flatland magazines so's you have something real fancy to look at. Pa, try and be nice to Ma. You dont know how good you got it. When I get back, Ill show you some real fancy tricks I leant at Chemical Engineering Class so's yer still won't blow up all the time or go all sour. Your loving son, LR (call me that now)

penni, We just returned from Sofia and Prague. In Sofia we saw an assortment of Musorgski arias. Later, in Prague Czech's old city, a most beautiful setting, imagine an 18th Century church, with brilliant Mucha stained glass widows, a four piece wonderful string quartet, all accompanying a superb soprano. In this environment, we saw and listened to selected opera arias, including three versions of Avi Maria by; Mozart, Dvorjak, and Shubert. It was the closest I've ever been to heaven. With love, Jules
