Dear Mr. Smith, How are you? I saw your picture on the web, and Mr. Bergen has told me a tiny bit about you and paired me up as your penpal! You sound like a really cool guy and I am wicked psyched about writing to you! I don't know much about you but I really would like to!!!! First of all my name is Amber Fitch and I am in 7th grade. I have five kids in my family and I LOVE art! Please tell me a little about your family and all that kind of stuff!
Sincerely, Amber Fitch
How ya doin'. guys? You may not know for sure that I have MS, but because I am here you got to figure that much out. I am the father of four, two of each kind. Out of the four three of them are married now. My daughter down in Florida has given me a grandchild -- a boy. I have a very lovely wife. If you work at it you can find the right one for you when it gets to be that time. I am the Vice-president of the Plymouth Babe Ruth League and also a coach. I also was the president of the Plymouth Youth Hockey. What sports are you interested in? Please keep in touch. See you on C U See Me, I hope.

I think a really neat thing about Smitty is that we have a lot in common. He has four children and I am one of five. Smitty is an fun guy that shows in the way he speaks, e.g."that tickled me silly." I read one of his letters to my friend and she said, "He sounds a lot like you!!!" Those are only a few things, but I hope you enjoyed reading about.
