I write to the class about 3 or 4 times a month. About once a month I write a letter and the others are postcards. They have a big map and tape them to the state I wrote from. I tell them about where I've been and things like when a coyote runs across the road in front of me at 0130 in the morning or whatever seems interesting. They write me once a month and ask questions about my job, truck etc. or tell me about somebody they know who's a truck driver or whatever is on their mind. I chose a class near home because 1. it's near home and easy to visit and 2. a friend's son is in it. I've visited 3 times now and they had enough questions to use up all 3 visits. I'll be going back in May to be one of the participants in their career day. I took the truck a day after it was finished and they climbed in and checked it out and each one gave a quick tug on the air horn cord. I'll keep doing the program with the same teacher in the future. It's a GREAT program and I highly recommend it. See
