I had 3 pen pals in my younger years: a girl from Belgium who sent me a World’s fair emblem which I still have after 55 years, a boy from Japan, and one from India. Letters are gone except for the postcard of Mt Fuji, and their names I don’t recall. Learning about their culture always fascinated me.
I would love to have another penpal again. I’ve been retired for nearly 12 years from my job at the Department of Social Services, but have a part-time job at our local library. I am an avid reader and also go to classes once a week at Lifelong Learning for Seniors at the University of Connecticut in Waterbury CT. Do you have any thing like this in Germany?
Hope to hear from you,
Marjie Fitzgerald
I had a penpal from Scotland when I was in grammar school. His name was Edward. We exchanged letters and photos for about two years and then life happened. But I think about where he is now 50 years later.
