Kathryn (and all "kids" into letterboxing): we're SO glad you're
enjoying this stuff! It gives us older children a reason to spend
even more time with you: and believe me, we need it. Otherwise we get
too serious! I think you can go ahead and say or ask anything you
want on this list. It's great to hear from you!
You know how video games have those "hint" books that tell you how to
get more power or points? We should have that in letterboxing! You
can email me (drewclan at aol.com) for any hints you want on the
drewclan letterboxes. There are no big secrets, and our "mystery"
boxes are really pretty easy and meant to be found and enjoyed!
Maybe we should have a kids get-together here in Connecticut. I'll
bring the ice cream!

You know, you may be onto something here. With the colder weather settling
in, it is harder
to get all of my kids out to letterbox. But, a kid get-together is a great
idea. Anybody else interested??

HI everyone,
I'm 19 going on 20, but count me in. My mom and her friend and I love
letterboxing. Sometimes my fiance comes along.
Also have another request to anyne who has placed letterboxes in eastern
CT. I'm making a website for a college internet class, it's all about
letterboxing. I think it's coming out really well. I hope I don't step
on anyones toes the Letterboxing .org is a great site. I just wanted to
localize it. I've been working on the research since October, and have
been working on the actual site for a few weeks. The problem is that I
don't want to duplicate anyones clues without their permission, that's
plagerism and my prof. would have a cow.
Future plans for the site include a road map with a mark placed
hopefully in the parking lot, helping people find their way easier.
Also I've written a page for missing letterboxes, links to related
sites, (including letterboxong.org), and a FAQ page.
Please e-mail me and let me know which boxes that you've planted that I
can and can't use on the site. I'll place the e-mail in my portfolio for
school. Thanks for putting so much out there, I know that I'll never
finish, but I'm taking internet 2 in the spring.
Thanks again, Debbie

Hey Everyone. I'm Kathryn, the one on the title of this email. I'm 12 years
old and very new to this hobby but it's really fun. I love hiking for a
reason, not just for fun, plus it gives you plenty of exercise. I'm doing
this Project for Girl Scouts where I'm putting some letterboxes out in and
near my home town, Cheshire. When I put them out I'll tell you all about it
but I don't know how to write the letters on the list. If anyone knows how,
please tell me and I'll give you the instructions as soon as I make them and
put the box there. This is for an Award that's called the Silver Award. Its
for girl scouts, well bye and thanks

hi I'm Kathryn. I'm 12 years old. Well I think it's a great idea to have a
get together with all the people that go letterboxing. I can't wait to meet
everybody if we actually to pull this thing off.

Hi Debbie,
We were at the Grist in the Mist letterbox this afternoon. We saw your
note that you beat us to it :) We will have to be quicker next time.
Unfortunately Mansfield is not too close to home. Just wanted to let you
know that our boxes are: Arboretum Adventure, Rock Springs, and Curious
George and the Giant's Chair. Feel free to use any of these on your web
site. Good luck! Can't wait to see how it turns out.
