Dear Prospecter Parker,
I liked your show very much. My favorite part was when the man took Simple Simon's gold. Thank you for coming to Delmar School.

Are you going to play in the play? Sorry this is your last year in plays. Is this supposed to be a secret?? (Mrs. Weeg blew it) No Hard feelings. Where are you going from here?? Well, I have to go. Good luck on the play.

Dear David, Joseph, John and Ashley,
Thanks for your notes and I am happy you enjoyed the show. Personally, David and Joseph, I liked the part where Simon gets the gold back from the pieman, because the pieman wasn't right taking it from him. John, I also would like to continue touring, but we have been doing it for nearly 20 years, and everything has to change. There is a lyric in a new Broadway song that says "The only thing constant is change".
Ashley, glad I got your note from Mrs. Weeg...didn't you give me a note the day of the play also? Hope you had a good pizza party and I hope you enjoyed the show.
Your friend,
Prospector Parker
