Letter about the library display at the Ellington Library

Dear Bob and friends--

Thank you so much for your great program on Sunday. I know we hoped for more people, but those who came really liked it. I received some nice comments, as well as some regrets from people who missed it! I know you all put a lot of work into your presentations, and you had a job getting volunteers, and I really appreciate all your efforts. So, there's always next year!

Thanks also for the display. It'

s one of the highlights of our year. I told you how I was working the Sunday after they went up and had the fun of watching people come in, look up and their eyes get wide. Oohs and aahs from all ages and some excited jumping from the little ones. Thanks for sharing your models and your enthusiasm.
