Dear Nicole Elpers

        My name is Christina Macpherson. I am going into Year 5
of primary school here in Australia this year. Our school year
starts on Tuesday, February 2. We have four terms of about ten
weeks each.I live less than 100 metres from the school gate. I
like maths and craft and I enjoy most school sports.

        I read in your message that you would like to visit
Texas. I'd like to too. But I'd like to see lots of Australia
first. I've been just about everywhere between Brisbane and
Canberra and as far west as Dubbo.

        I see that you are a couple of months younger than me.
What is it like growing up in North America? We get a lot of
your TV shows. Is it much like them?

        I turn ten on March 1st. I have one brother named Tim.
He is eight years old on the 23rd of January (in six days).

        I see you just have one cat. Does your family have any
other pets? For pets, I have two cats and ten peachfaces. The
cats'names are Misty and Harold. Misty is eleven. She's really
sick at the moment. She may die of old age soon. Harold is
good. He is a really funny cat. He's a part Russian Blue. In
case you don't know what peachfaces are, they are small
Australian parrots. They have two shades of green for their
bodies and a sort of pinkish face. They are a tiny bit bigger
than a canary.

        I am blonde and have long, straight hair that goes
halfway down my back. I am 128 centimetres tall. My mass is
right on 26 kilograms at the moment. I am short and weigh less
than most kids in my class.

        My dad is a teacher. My Mum is a bank teller.

        I have my own computer but I prefer to use dad's big
one. It is easier to use on the BBS. Do you have your own?

        Is there anything you want to know about Australia?

DEAR MARYLYNN VICKERS
Hi! 
My name is Rebecca Washut. I am and 11 and will be 12 on February 13th.
I am also looking forward to being your pen pal. 
I have 6 out of 9 of the " Little House" books. I also have the first 4 of the " Anne of Green Gables" series. I have heard of the Baby- sitters Club books. I think that they are all right. I get them at my local library.I am 5 feet and 3 inches. I have brown eyes and brown hair. 
I like cats alot. I have about a million things with cats and kittens on them. Of course I am stretching the truth a little. If I did have a million things with cats on them my room would be to crowded to walk in.
I really wish that I had a cat but I don't. My mother is allergic to them but if she wasn't than I would probably have a cat. I have one dog. Her name is Lightfoot. It is my fathers dog so he named her. He named her that because she has one white paw. We had another dog but she died last summer. She was my mothers dog and her name was Amber. My mother named her that because she was the color of Amber.
I have one brother. His name is Alexander but we call him Alex. My brother is younger then I am. Do you have any brothers or sisters? If you Sorry. I forgot that you didn't have any brothers or sisters. 
I am sorry that I couldn't write back to you for so long. I didn't have any time.
Well, I have to go. Please write back soon.
                          Your pen pal,
                             Rebecca Washut

 Dear Mr. Horan & class,
 
 I am also in Sarasota.  I have a modem at home and talk through the Kids
 Corner BBS.  One of the reasons I am writing you is to respond to your
 message, to acknowledge that you did get through to someone.  You and
 the class are going to have great fun communicating with everyone.
 There are people from Indiana, Australia, Taiwan, Oregon, Massachusetts,
 and so many more places.  Get out the world map!  Another reason that I
 am interrupting is to ask how everyone is doing on their science fair
 investigations.  I was the county science fair coordinator last year.  I
 am going around to schools and making presentations to classes on what
 needs to be included in the science fair display.  If I can answer any
 questions here or in the science conference (31), please ask.  Have a
 great time telecommunicating :) (That is a sideways smile).  Linda

Hi Mike! I'm doing fine. I am 10 years old. We have snow here in 
Kansas City. There was almost a foot of snow and school was cancelled 
for two days. How do you like computer games? And what is your 
favorite game? Do you build any thing in the snow? In Colorado, there 
were snow sculptures very pretty. And here in Kansas City, there was a 
snow sculpture of Jesus at a church. What do you do in school? Do you 
like it? I like school and I do Math, History, Spelling, Reading and 
other subjects. I am in the 5th grade. I hope you will stay my 
computer penpal. Got to go, BYE!!!!!!!

Hi Karen, well I'm so happy to see you on the bbs. Do you have a modem in 
school or are you lucky enough to have one at home. I can give you some 
more information on Friday about new areas that you might be interested 
in. See you then!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ms. Roussell

Dear Gina Burns

        My name is Christina Macpherson. I am going into Year 5
of primary school here in Australia this year. Our school year
starts on Tuesday, February 2. We have four terms of about ten
weeks each.I live less than 100 metres from the school gate. I
like maths and craft and I enjoy most school sports.

        I am sorry that you don't like maths and science. I
them. I used to hate maths but my father gave me some unusual
types of puzzles that got me interested.

        I see you think you're not so good at spelling. You
are okay. my dad gets some really weird messages from adults
that are really hard to read. My last teacher thought I was a
good speller. My brother is better than me and he got a lower
score on his report. I'm okay compared to other kids in my class
but I get jealous when my brother spells words for me that I
don't know.

        I read in your message that you liked doing gym. What
grade are you at in competition or do you do it just for fun?
Some girls at my dad's school go to state and national titles
in their age groups.

        I like soccer a lot. I got a new soccer ball for
Christmas. Do you play at all?

        I turn ten on March 1st. I just have one brother named
Tim. He is eight years old on the 23rd of January. I'd prefer a
sister but Mum and Dad say they have enough kids. I'm lucky to
have an older girl cousin staying for the holidays.

        You like rap music. I think most of it sounds terrible.
Some people laugh but I mostly like country and rock. I like
Girlfriend, Kenny Rogers, John Williamson and Wayne Horsborgh. I
sing some Dolly parton songs too.

        I am blonde and have long, straight hair that goes
halfway down my back. I am 128 centimetres tall. My mass is
right on 26 kilograms at the moment. I am short and weigh less
than most kids in my class.

        I see that you are a shorty too. A few people make fun
of me but I just say - hey, I'm better looking.

        My state in Australia is NSW (New South Wales).

        Where exactly are you. I like to look people's home
towns up on my dad's big world atlas.

        Please write soon. Tell me some new stuff about
yourself. Bye now.
