The Stardust Lounge_ Stories From a Boy's Adolescence - Deborah Digges [52]
Dear Mr. P ,
I so enjoyed judging your poetry contest! Please let these students know that I was impressed and moved by the power of their feelings and their care with language and form. I commented on at least one poem by each poet. It was very hard to decide, and I hope it is okay with you that besides the first, second, and third place winners, I chose six honorable mentions… .

Dear Trev,
While I am gone I am putting you in charge of several things:
1. Watering and maintaining the gardens and the window boxes. Make sure each evening all the gardens have lots of water, and don't forget the little window boxes on the front of the house, over by the garage, and on the back patio.
2. E-mailing me in Russia at least three times. I'll have shown you exactly how to get on-line with CompuServe. Please keep me informed of everything, send me news!
3. You will also be in charge of dinner on Tues., Wed, and Sat, and Tues. night of next week (see calendar in kitchen). Tues. and Wed, Joanne will be here, so Steve will be busy with tutoring. Then he will clean up those nights and fix dinner on other nights.
The nights that he fixes dinner, you are in charge of cleanup. There will be plenty of things to eat, and it will be your job, while Steve is with Joanne, and then later, too, to plan and get the meal on the table for you and Steve and Brian.
4. Buster's hips really bother him at night so I am asking you that while I am away, DO NOT LET HIM PLAY WITH THE BASKETBALL! If you want to play, close the front door and the side door, too.
5. Keep up with your laundry and keep your room neat.
I know you can do it, and I wish you luck! I'll miss you!
Dear Mr. T:
I am faxing you the deed for 101 Blue Hills Road, a house for which your company has the mortgage. Because the house was originally in my former husband's name, it has been difficult for me to correspond with and/or receive responses from you.
Yesterday I spoke with a woman at your establishment who told me if I faxed this document to you, this information would allow me to speak about the financial status and the mortgage status of this residence.
First of all, see letter and insurance document also faxed regarding ‘s overcharging me for house insurance I already possessed with . As a result, overcharged me over a thousand dollars, money that I wanted to put toward my September house payment.
I received a letter from stating that they had indeed overcharged me, and that this money had been put
