Currently, I have a couple of friends who regularly write letters to the editor. One is a genealogist, the other a lawyer. They are always interesting, well-written letters that convey opinions better than I ever could.
But my favorite letter to the editor remains the one my friend Steve wrote when he was 10 years old. It was written in 1955 to the editor of the Ithaca Journal regarding a crossword puzzle clue. I will willingly admit that there's no way I could have written such a letter at the age of 10. And, in case you wondered, Steve is still a very well-read guy - a habit he obviously learned early in life!!!
