In 1983, Joseph McInerney's 5th grade
class buried a time capsule to be reopened on July 4th, 2001. This
is the letter I found addressed to me inside the time capsule:
Dear Jonathan,
I'm glad you are here to read this. Things are good in 1983, we're in the
computer age. How are they now? Have they invented the laser gun yet? How
about a cure for Aids? How much does a can of soda cost? It used too cost
fifty cents. We have a computer ourself, an Apple II+. As well as lots of
games to play on it. do you have a job? If so what is it? Do you remember
your camping trip in '83? That was fun. Remember the ketle pond; and the
sand dunes. You didn't like the brail trail that much. Do you have a wife
yet? And kids? do you live in Mass? Acton Mass? If you don't I'm pretty
mad! Is your profession drawing? Are you still good at it? I wonder how
much better you are at it? Here are soome drawings you made.
Youres truly,
Yourself
