by Ann Umders ANN LANDERS: I've been going with Mervyn for three years. We are 1 not officially engaged but I am expecting a ring on my 22nd birthday which falls next April. Mst inontfa Mervyn won a trip to London in a sales contest. I was very proud of him because I know how hard he worked. I know, too, he was up against some mighty stiff competition.

Mervyn said he would be too busy to write but he promised to bring me a nice gift: Last night he came to the bouse, straight from the airport. The first thing he said was, "Here's your gift, honey. Mrs. use man Reviews History Of Volga German Mrs. EArl E.

Mrs. Toepfer is a first generation American descendant of the Volga Germans who came to Kansas in the mid 1970s. The book is a factual history of those people, who opened two frontiers to civilization Volga River region of Russia, and tbe High Plains of the United States. The story, said Mrs. Guseman, is valuable not only to descendants of these intrepid pioneers, but to any student of American history.

The book records courage, loyalty of strong families and strong conviction, to endure persecution, suffering and danger with equal fortitude. It is 1 record of which these descendants can be proud.

It would have been nice, however, if the big sport had taken the time to go into one of those lovely British and purchased a small token of his affection.

It took me three hours to write that letter and then I walked to the mailbox and mailed it.

When I got to bed I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking maybe. I should not have written some of those things. I remembered the times she helped me out when my kids were sick and how she was the first one at the house when my husband was hurt at the factory. After a few miserable hours I decided I had been too hard on her and the letter out of line.

So I put on my clothes at 2:00 a.m. and walked to the mailbox to see when the next pjck-up would be. It said 7:20. The next morning I was at the box at 7:20 to get the letter back but the postman wouldn't give it to me. I argued till I was blue in the face but he refused.

Well, Ann, my sister-in-law received the letter and that ended our friendship. I blame the postman. He could have been a good fellow and given me letter If he wanted to. What is your opinion?
