Dear Ann Landers, Thank you for printing that letter describing how friends, as a joke, had my wife and me put in jail on our wedding night 54 years ago. We saw it in the Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa.
That very evening, I received a telephone call from Scotts, Mich. It was from an old friend saying she was glad to finally know what had really happened. Our maid of honor read it in the Gazette Telegraph in Colorado Springs. Friends in Dalton, Ga., read it in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution. Other friends saw it in Londonderry, N.H. An Army buddy in California phoned about it, and so did friends here in Hershey, Pa. I'm sure we will be hearing from many others who were amused and connected us with it even though no names were mentioned.
This column brought back some wonderful memories to us old-timers and let our friends know we're still around. -- F.H. in Hershey, Pa.
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!
Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , well-built man and a wonderful lover. My first romance after his death proved to be a poor choice, and I ended the relation-ship. The intimacy, however, was extremely gratifying. The man I’ve been seeing for over a year treats me beautifully, and we have many mutual interests. I could be perfectly content with “Bart” for the rest of my life except for one thing: I do not enjoy his lovemaking. The first time we made love, I was so disappointed that I seriously considered breaking up with him, but his winning ways made me change my mind. I’m trying to convince myself that his personality and fine qualities outweigh his inadequacy in the bedroom, but I’m not hav-ing much success. After all, it’s not his fault that he isn’t well-endowed. Lately, Bart has been talking about marriage. My family and friends think he’s fabulous and tell me how lucky I am. Meanwhile, I find my life becoming more and more entwined with his. People are beginning to think of us as “a couple.” I love Bart, and I would really miss him if we should part. But how do I handle this sex thing? He is not fully aware of how I feel, and I don’t want to hurt him by saying anything. I’m sure he believes he is a good lover. I’ve faked enthusiasm to boost his ego. He tries all sorts of variations and tells me how important it is to please me, but nothing seems to help. There’s not much he can do about his anatomy. What do you suggest?
