Icon fan mail from Nancy Beach Crum

Hi Fred,

I highly doubt you remember me, but I was a classmate of yours at one time. Having moved from Bluffton when I was going into the sixth grade, I have always considered Bluffton my home and think of it fondly.

My sister still lives in Bluffton as does her son's family. I just happened to stumble across the Icon on Facebook and am thoroughly enjoying the site. I make it back to Bluffton from time to time, usually on Saturday after Thanksgiving for the parade and Thanksgiving with my family.

We'll print your letter to Santa. Here's how it works: Drop off your letter in the special box in the Bluffton Post Office lobby. The post office delivers the letter to The Icon. We print it. We then give the letter to the elves at the Bluffton Senior Citizen Center. Please provide a clear mailing address, and you will receive a response from Santa.

Dear Santa:
