They first met as +toddlers when we lived in student housing at BYU. Matt and Andra moved +in shortly after we did, to an apartment with doors that opened just +across from ours onto the same porch. More often than not, in the +summertime, both doors were open and Cameron and Anika would move back +and forth quite freely. We all got to be very close friends. + +Since then, we've stayed in good touch with the Willis family. While +we were in Virginia, they were in New Jersey which was just close +enough that we were able to spend some great Thanksgiving holidays +together. Now, we all miss each other terribly since we're in Oregon +while they're in north Carolina. + +## The problem + +A couple of months ago, we received Anika's Traveling Turtle in the +mail, (a notebook which can be seen in the photographs to the +right). The plan was that we would write an entry about an animal and +mail it on to someone else to do the same. We even took it with us on +our Spring Break trip to the coast with full intentions to add an +entry right away. But "the best-laid plans" and all that. Cameron has +now made a nice entry on the life cycle of a frog, and Hyrum did the +same for salmon. But we don't have time to let the turtle do any more +traveling, (at least not through snail mail). + +## A plea for help + +This web page is our last chance to help out Anika by letting her +turtle do a little bit of virtual traveling. It is a bit embarrassing +to be asking people to help on a tight deadline, when the only reason +for expediency was our own failure to act quickly. So, please, nobody +should feel any obligation to do anything. + +But if anybody would be interested and willing to help, we would +really appreciate it. Here are Anika's original instructions: + +> Please write (type) about an animal in your area or one that you are +> intrigued about. It doesn't have to be a lengthy report, just some +> specifics that will help me learn more about some animal life cycles +> (birth to adult). Please be sure that your paper is signed with your +> name, city, and state. + +If anyone would be willing to do that, please just type a quick email +to stacy@theworths.org and Stacy will print them out, paste them +into Anika's book, and then send the results back to Anika. + +Thanks so much! -- 2.43.0
