 Dear Mr. Pressman,
I just noticed that they are tearing up the road in the
middle of Blairstown. I am hoping it won't be like all the
other road fixes where curves and bumps are taken out
along with the rural charm and stone walls are replaced
with metal guard rails.
The result is people driving faster and the quaint
country road becomes another county highway among
hundreds of others. Would you please print this letter as
a protest? Newer is not always better!

Dear Better,
We all mourn the loss of the familiar and many of us
long for the road less travelled.

Dear Mr. Pressman,

Please thank everyone who marched in the Blairstown
Memorial Parade. It was a very very hot day! Everyone
who walked that long stretch of highway got a small idea
of what it means to give up their comforts to benefit
others. The music was inspiring. We can enjoy every-
day as U.S. citizens.
Why do you think that so many people want to come
here and live? Brave men and women were willing to
give their lives to keep this great country free and strong.
People died and were wounded. Many are still fighting
and are far away from their families and friends. We
should never forget and also make sure our children
never forget!

Dear Never Forget,

Thank you for writing! Memorial Day is one holiday
that we can celebrate with a conscience. It is at our own
peril, to take for granted the many freedoms which
others won for us after great personal sacrifice.
May we always be committed to fighting the good fight,
to protecting the life and liberty of all people, and to
supporting those brave enough to serve our nation.

This past fall semester, at Duke University, there were two sopho-
mores who were taking Organic Chemistry and who did pretty well on
all of the quizzes, midterms, labs, etc. Going into the final exam, they
had solid “A’s.” These two friends were so confident going into the final
that the weekend before finals week (even though the Chem. final was
on Monday), they decided to go up to University of Virginia to a party
with some friends. So they did this and had a great time. However, they
ended up staying longer than they planned, and they didn’t make it back
to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then,
they found Professor Aldric after the final and explained to him why
they missed it. They told him that they went up to Virginia for the
weekend, and had planned to come back in time to study, but that they
had a flat tire on the way back and didn’t have a spare and couldn’t get
help for a long time. So they were late getting back to campus. Aldric
thought this over and agreed that they could make up the final on the
following day. The two guys were elated and relieved. So, they studied
that night and went in the next day at the time that Aldric had told
them. He placed them in separate rooms, handed each of them a test
booklet and told them to begin. They looked at the first problem, which
was something simple about free radical formation and was worth 5
points. “Cool” they thought, “this is going to be easy.” They did that
problem and then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for
what they saw on the next page. It said: (95 points) “Which tire?”
