Dear Mr. Matt and Mr. Dave,
jarrell I really like when you write to me. I wish I could write to you all of the time. Thursday July 25, 1996 is our last day of school. Hope I hear from you soon. I did not like summer school until I wrote to you men. I always wake up in the morning looking foreword to writing to you men. I would like to see you. If you are in Salisbury could you stop by North Salisbury School and ask for Jarrell Chandler. Well this is my last day writing to you. If I hear from you two I will be so happy. The feeling of not touching these keys again makes me sad. If I could give you something I would for writing back to me. Thank you for all of your letters. You did not have to write to me but you did. I just can't stop saying thank you.
Your friend,
Jarrell Chandler

The next day...

Dear Mr. Matt and Mr. Dave
It looks like I'll be writing to you. I am so happy. This morning I walked in the classroom and ask the teacher did I get a reply from you. So how are you doing. I hope fine. Do you know this is the funniest thing I did. It make me feel happy. I wish you were down here so that I can talk to you. I am saving all your letters. If I never came to summer school I would not be talking to you today. But I do want to do good in school. This keeps me occupied. I like talk to you. My hand feel good touching these keys again.
Your friend,
Jarrell

Connecting from the Ice Antarctic Adventure - a year long project which brought two scientists to our school. Their second visit was on their way home from a "winter over" in Antarctica. The men were doing satellite tracking at McMurdo and wrote to our students during the whole school year and into the next.
