When in 3rd grade at Laurel Consolidated School, I had my appendix out and was hospitalized for a few days. The following are a few letters that some of my class-mates wrote to me with the encouragement of our teacher Mrs, Andrews. They were all written January 6, 1954. Yes, I still possess all these letters and they are in mint condition.
Dear Dennis
We changed our seats around today.
How do you feel to night? I had an ear
ache last week or do you know it?
We are going to start our new check
up chart next week. Hurry up and get well

What did the big chimney say to the
little chimney? You're to young to smoke.

Dear Dennis
How are you coming along? We had
maid-rites and cookies today. Bill and
Bill and another boy left this morning.
I had fun with my chemistry set, I tested
some water with iron. We had an
interesting story in reading, the name was
Bushy Tails Escape. It was exciting. Well
I guess I better sign off for now.

******taped below was a cartoon from a magazine that
showed a boy bringing an apple to his teacher at school.
He then says--"I bought you an apple, Miss Brown--can
I eat it now?"
