Dear Ann Landers,
hank you so much for the wonderful experi-ence you made possible by printing our letter. When I first wrote to you, all I wanted to do was thank the woman who had been so kind to us. With only her name to go on, I hoped that she or a friend might see your column. This succeeded better than I could ever have imagined. Bea, a teacher in Frankfurt, Germany, heard from a multitude of friends all around the world, some of whom she hadn't seen in 20 years. She wrote you to say she was coming to see us. Two local TV stations and 2 (i 2 ANN LANDERS the St. Louis Post-Dispatch covered our reunion. We exchanged gifts, shared remembrances, had dinner and promised to stay in touch. I am so glad that I was able to share with Bea the joy that I feel hav-ing adopted our little girl. Bea is as nice as she seemed when we first met her, and she told us this was the most exciting month of her life. Please let your readers know that acts of kindness do count for some-thing. They help to make this world a better place. And so do you, Ann.
