North Carolina fourth grader thankful for readers' letters

Dear people of the great state of Montana,

A couple of weeks ago, I had a letter to the editor published in this newspaper. It said that I was doing a state report on Montana and asked you to send me some information.

Your response was overwhelming! I have tried my best to send a personal thank you to everyone, but if you sent something and have not a received a personal letter, please know how much I appreciate the time, thought, effort and money that you took to help me with my project. I learned so much, and I will never forget this experience!

On May 18, we are going to have a big “state fair” where we get to display the information and items we received. The people of the great state of Montana will be well represented! Thank you again.

Sincerely,

—Nicholas Smith
