Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
We have a problem and it just
may be that you could help. As
you know, we live on the west
shore of Cook Inlet and have
been teaching our two children
at home. This year, however, our
son, Buck, will be entering high
school and we would like to send
him to Kenai. gchaol.
Since we will not be moving
to Kenai for the school year, it
will be necessary to find a fam
ily with whom Bueky can board.
He is a hard and willing worker
(most of the time) and we would
like to find a place where he
could work for all or part of his
board and room.
Bueky is a tall, strong young
fellow of 14 and is accustomed
to outdoor work. He is also a
fairly good student but would
need time for his home work in
order to keep up his grades.
If you have any ideas or knowl
tdge of such a family, we would
appreciate hearing from you. If
not, would you make up an ad

terested in finding reasonable
board and room for him.
