Dear Mr. Smith:

Thank you for the return letter. Since 1991 the Clapper in my bedroom has seen many changes. First, I got married to a fine young lady from Kentucky. We had two children, Reuben and Rainbow, both of whom are still ambling around the house. In fact, Reuben clapped for the first time last month and got scared because the lights went out!

Unfortunately Tessie, my wife, met a trucker on Interstate 80 and hasn't been seen since. But you know if she ever comes back we'll be clapping all night long. Hope all's well.

Sincerely,



Scott Carson
