Dear Morten,

We are a fourth grade class in Houston, Texas. We enjoyed reading your letter. Most of our families live around the country. Many of our families work for NASA or the oil industry. We had a couple of questions about your letter, What country is Funen? and if it is not to personal (private) why do you use your mother's last name? Take care.
