Mail Bag


I just checked my mailbox and found that we had received a few more postcards. Mikella's journal is currently in Ada, Michigan with Uncle Gary and Aunt Sharon. Lou from Elkhart sent a postcard from the Recreational Vehicle/Motor Home Hall of Fame and Museum. Austin received notification that his journal stopped at the Hayes household in Indianapolis.* Brooke's journal is on its way to North Carolina after another Florida stop. Vicki's journal visited my 98 year-old grandmother near Northgate Mall.

*Mrs. Hayes used to teach fourth grade at CNE. We still miss her!
The picture is the same as on the postcard from Elkhart. It shows a 1964 Coachmen Cadet-the very first trailer made by Coachmen Industries.

Journal Journey

All journals for the journal journey were mailed on November 23. My family and friends received all of the journals of students who did not provide addresses. So far we have received postcards from Joey in Cincinnati who sent Jack's journal on to his (Joey's) grandparents, Mary in Lebanon, Ohio, and Jim in Florida. Jim (Mrs. Berning's father) sent shells and sand back for everyone. We also received an email from Lou in Elkhart, IN who mailed Sydne's journal to San Diego.
Great participation!
