    3. Greetings to you all from Indianapolis. I notice that there have been several emails concerning information received in another language. When my children were in high school, all of them took German. I had received some mail in German, and I asked the teacher if she would be willing to have the class translate it. She was thrilled to have the chance, as it was a great learning experience for the class. She sent me a translation in English, and the whole process took just a few days. I gave them a monetary donation for their class to use on a project they had. My suggestion is to have any of you contact your local high schools or colleges, and see if they would be willing to do something similar; I feel confident that they would. Probably German and French would be the most common letters all of us would receive, and they are taught in most foreign language departments. Good luck to all of you. Dennis Buerge
