Enjoy this week's letters and greetings

As of the date of this edition, I have been working for the Independent Record for 26 years, 7 months and 26 days (yes, I counted). I have a lot of issues behind me, in more ways than one.

This particular issue, the one that includes the Letters to Santa and the Christmas Greetings, is one of my favorites each year. You’ll find them in the B section.

Both of my sons were raised in Thermopolis and attended RWE. I’ve looked through the back issues from their youth and read their letters. Its a fun trip down memory lane. The books are available for the public to look through if you are interested in doing so.

The letters are printed as they are written, misspellings and all. There is artwork included.

We want to give a shout out to those who help us make the Christmas Greetings section possible.

Thank you to the generous advertisers who put their ads in and help us pay for the printing and processing. We truly could not do it without you!

Many of the letters are submitted by the teachers and students at Ralph Witters Elementary School. The teachers take the time to have their students write the letters and create artwork. Thank you,we could not do it without your help! Also, thank you to the kids and parents who drop off letters at the IR office.

Thank you to our subscribers for reading. We hope you enjoy this week’s B section as much as we enjoy putting it together.

Merry Christmas from all of us at the IR!
