Letters

My mother wrote to my 5th grade teacher Miss Ringle and I had to deliver it. My lovely teacher cried after being scolded on paper. After I ran away from home I was a recipient of my mother's vicious rage letters. I learned to stop opening them.

On the other hand writing and receiving wonderful letters is the perfect shy person's medium. I LOVE to write letters versus phone calls or actual visits any day. I have written fan letters to artists and writers since I was 13. (I never expect a response but I enjoy writing them). One artist became a friend of the family and he had my letter pinned up over his mantle the day we visited him.

I am puzzled that cursive is no longer taught in school. What is a LOVE letter without cursive?
