He is a: very special person to me and his name is Raman Carlson. He is one of m favorite older persons I know@ My grantipa is a very helpful to me when I didn't know how to build a paper airplane for a contest at school. I asked him to help me and soon I could build a super paper airplane, I also won the contest. He was also helpful to me when I needed some information on how to take care of a pool for a demonstration speech for school. All I I-lad to Flo was call up my grandpa and ask for the information and tAe gave it to me. He sure saved me an awful lot of work and research .I would have had to do. I was so glad. He even let me use some of his cl-iemicals and &lot of his pool equipment. I really needed im. He sure is a great helper.

Thanks to all the youth that participated, their teachers, and our panel of judges. Somebody Closeby Davey Ulric One of my favorite persons in the world is my grandmother, Aria-1 Ulrich. She makes nye feel good, confident, and special about myself. No matter how much I hurt she'll maks: it better. Even though I live about 200 miles away from her I can always call or write her. Grandma Ulrich lives in a trailer park in Wisconsin. It makes me feel good because she lives by her friends and she doesn't have to live in a nursing hoes. Her louse always smells a certain way, and her pillows on ler- couch lay the same way every time I visit® She always starts our visit by saying Davey, you've grown so much. Its been ages. I don't mind that she says that and pinches my checks when she does. I love her. We always give ler extra love because her husband died about 1.4 years ago. Another one of my favorite persons in the world is nay step grandmother Elie Pence. I love her very much because when my parents go out of town she stays with me and my older brother Jason. he's alot of fun too® She will be patient when she teaches me something new. We will play board games or cards on a rainy or beautiful blue sky day® On school days, instead of laving my regular cold cereal, Elie makes pancakes, eggs, waffles, or french toast. She's a real good cook because she used to own ler own restaurant years ago. I think older people are much more fun. They can tell you about old times which is important too. They have so much to give wits-, ti-leir experience. The next time you see an older person that you see that needs help upstairs with the groceries, or even being helped across the street. You help? I love older people? I i rent show the MpIs. ommod-are A.S.F.
