This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 21, 2007:
The best letter I ever received was a declination letter from a college I applied to. I had sent applications to about 5 or 6 colleges and I really wanted to go to one particular college because two of my friends were there. Well, somehow these same two friends snuck into one of the official college offices and grabbed some letterhead and envelopes. They wrote the following letter:
Dear Miss Mayer,
Thank you for your interest in ********* College. However, we regret to inform you that we are declining your application because we have filled our quota of short girls with squeaky voices...
At first I was mad and then I laughed so hard I couldn't stop. Almost 25 years later and I am still laughing about that letter. Thanks Mike and Dion!

Hysterical!
How wonderful to have such friends.
Brilliant and sounds like some friends of mine!
that is pretty funny. jen
That sounds like something I would do!
I wish I still had a copy of this letter. I saved it for a long time but somewhere during my adventures it disappeared. Oh, well. I'm glad it is still making people smile.
