Student misses
his bicycle
"While my friends are all riding to school I am
walking".
Dear Editor:
Two weeks ago I accidently left my bike at school. I hope the per-
son that took it enjoys it as much as I did. My father gave it to me a
couple of months ago for my birthday and I was quite proud of it. It
was an 18 speed blue Venture hike which I had planned on riding for
many years.
While my friends are all riding to school I am walking. This has
been a tough lesson for me and I sure would like to get my bike back.
The police said that a lot of bikes end up in Morrison Dam. Why?
Sincerely,
Shawn Talbot
