One summer school day, Kenneth sent an e-mail to Mr. Bob and as the day unfolded so did a unique bond between a young boy in Maryland and his on-line mentor in the United Kingdom.

Dear Bob,

I have been sick. I had leukemia but it is better now. How are you feeling today? How is Rocky? Mrs. Weeg just showed me his picture. He is really BIG!!!! I am sitting next to Jennifer typing now to. What is the temperature now? It is pretty outside today. It is hot right now. It is 78 degrees now. I think it is going to be a hot one today! Miss Dickerson is helping me type today!!!

Kenneth

Hello Kenneth, Good to hear from you. I've been siting here waiting to see if you would write. Sorry to hear you've been sick Kenneth. I understand how you feel, I have multiple sclerosis, (big word eh?), we normaly say MS for short. Rocky's fine, feeling his age though. He's 12 year old, which is real old for him. He is probably as big as you Kenneth. The temperature here is 61 degrees, and it's cloudy, looks like it might rain. It sounds very hot there. I can't stand the heat, it makes me feel real tired. I'm glad you are better, and hope you get stronger now. I was worried when I didn't hear from you. Write when you can, eh? Bob

Mr. Bob helped Kenneth learn contractions.
