Dear Editor:

We would like to thank the good people of Northwest Missouri, for your replies to my son’s letter requesting information about your area. He was very excited to receive correspondence from you and definitely will use the great information you gave him for his report.

Craig chose the state of Missouri because both his parents were born in St. Louis, and he has been there to visit. His mom’s family still lives there, but his dad’s family is all transplanted Californians for more than 20 years. Craig has never been to the northwestern portion of the state and was interested in your area very much.

Craig has a brother, Brad, and a sister, Jenna. Craig is a fifth grader at La Madera Elementary. He loves soccer, karate and swimming. He also plays baseball and basketball, and got straight As on his last report card. We are very proud of him.

Again, we thank you for sharing with us. Craig had so much fun reading your letters. We received several replies from his letter with some great info. Unfortunately, some did not include their address, so we are unable to thank them with a letter, but all of their correspondence was appreciated.

Kay Burnett, Lake Forest, Calif.
