From Blaine Deutscher, 3832 Rae St. #2, Regina S4S 3A1, SK, Canada;

I put my name in January's Pen Pals and really dislike it when I am looking for someone to correspond with and get a letter asking for donations. I don't want to sound rude, but if I wanted to make a donation, I would give to a cause.

If you like sending jokes, one a week is fine, but not all the time. Also, I hate getting chain letters that you are asked to pass on to others. I delete them. I can only take so many forwarded messages a day.

If someone would like to send me a letter telling me how things are going, then go ahead. I'd like to hear from people who enjoy golfing with the U.S. Blind Golf Association, since I'm hoping to golf with the Western Canadian Blind Golf Association. If you like hockey, golf, football (NFL or CFL--Canadian Football League), contact me in Grade 1 braille or by e-mail.
