Hi Captain Comet,
I'm Michael Petrie, I was six years old on
Sun. Feb, 10. I had two birthday parties this
year. One with my cousin and friends from
school, and one with my Grandma's and
Grandpa's. It was .a lot of fun and -got a
brand new BMX bike. I can hardly wait for
the snow to melt away so I can learn to ride
it.
I'm in Mrs. Freeman's kindergarten class
at Robertson School (she's really nice). I'd
like to say happy birthday to my Uncle Ken-
ny and thanks for helping us when we went
toboggoning and thanks to my Aunt Linda
for helping at the party. Talk to you next
year,
By for now
Mike!
P.S. Happy Valentine's Day
