I want to thank you all for the donations to THON here at Pennsylvania State University. We were able to raise $1,109.64 towards the fight against pediatric cancer last Saturday.

When Briefing Book interviewed Peter Parsons for his then-long shot candidacy for Lewisboro town supervisor ("The Parsons' Tale," April 14), Mr. Parsons promised us that we'd get the first exclusive post-election interview with him should he prevail.

Two Sundays ago, I attended the Lewisboro Library's annual meeting, where the featured speaker was photographer J. Henry Fair. Mr. Fair is a co-founder and director of South Salem's Wolf Conservation Center and still lives nearby, though I don't think he either dances or sleeps with wolves. (I can't verify either of those assumptions.)

To the Editors:

The last election proved to me, and I hope I'm wrong, that the residents in this area don't care if we become like lower Westchester, ungovernable and a bunch of freeloaders who believe the working class owes them a living.

The other night I dreamt that my little boys were all grown up and away at college. I woke up with the last image in my mind of the boys rolling kegs of beer at me to keep me from giving them a good-bye hug. Once awake, I laughed to myself at the irony; who would be able to afford to send both of them to college anyway?
