Letters from Sammy: October 21, 1992
In following with tradition (2007, 2008), here are two letters and one school essay from my cousin Sammy. All came in the same envelope.
Sammy would be 25 years old today.
Letter #1: The earthquake Sammy references was the magnitude 7.3 Landers Earthquake, which took place on June 28, 1992.
Letter #2: Based on the date of the envelope, Sammy would have been eight years old. However, in this letter he says he's nine. I may have consolidated multiple letters from different dates into this envelope at some point. Also, FYI, the Raphael that Sammy is talking about were these Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle dolls that transformed from a pet turtle looking creature to the ninja-fighting street warrior. I found some pictures of a similar TMNT mutations toy here.
School Essay: I am assuming the house that Sammy talks about in this letter is our cousin Gene and Angels' house, since they were the only ones growing up who lived near the ocean.
