DEAR PETER AND JULIA

THANK YOU FOR YOUR LETTER OF JANUARY, 18. WE´RE GLAD TO KNOW THAT YOUR SON IS ARRIVING ON AUGUST AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING HIM HERE.

OUR FAMILY CONSIST OF MY HUSBAND, BILL, AND MY 3 CHILDREN, STELLA, JANE AND BUD.

BILL IS A FOREMAN FOR A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY AND I´M AN EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT AT A FIRM HERE IN MAPLEWOOD.

OUR OLDEST DAUGHTER, STELLA, WHO IS 20, GOES TO MEDICAL SCHOOL. SHE ENJOYS MUSIC AND SINGS IN THE CHURCH CHOIR.

OUR NEXT DAUGHTER, JANE, IS 17. SHE´S A JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND WORKS AT THE LOCAL GROCERY STORE AS A CASHIER. HER FREE TIME ACTIVITIES ARE RATHER CULTURAL: SHE LIKES ART, READING, GOING TO THE MOVIES, SPENDING TIME WITH HER FRIENDS, BUT SHE DOESN´T LIKE MUSIC AS STELLA.

BUD IS A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL. HE´S 15 AND WORKS PART-TIME AT A FRIEND´S FARM. HE DOESN´T LIKE COMPUTERS OR VIDEO GAMES VERY MUCH. HE LOVES TO BE OUTDOORS, HUNTING AND FISHING.

SANDY IS OUR KID´S PET. SHE´S A YELLOW LABRADOR RETRIEVER AND I´M SURE YOUR SON IS GOING TO GET ALONG JUST FINE WITH HER.

WE LOVE CAMPING AND BEING OUTSIDE, ENJOYING NATURE.

WE HOPE WE CAN TAKE MARCO TO VARIOUS PLACES AROUND THE STATE SO HE CAN SEE DIFFERENT LIFE STYLES. DOES HE LIKE CAMPING TOO? WHAT DOES HE DO IN HIS FREE TIME? HOW ABOUT SCHOOL? WHAT GRADE IS HE IN? HOW OLD IS HE EXATLY? THE INFORMATION I´VE IS THAT HE´S 16. IS THAT CORRECT?

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SEND US A LETTER OR AN E-MAIL.

BEST WISHES AND KEEP IN TOUCH.

BILL AND SARAH BENNETT
