Open Session: What Readers Think

Cowboy on a mission - I was late reading your January issue, and the story on rancher Bill Inman and his cross-country­ trek was most interesting. I hope he or his wife keep a journal of who they meet and where they are.

On the Texas Bicentennial, a group gathered in Fort Worth and made a wagon train trip around the state. It was interesting keeping up with them on the news.

Editor's note: The Inmans did keep a journal of their journey - but, surprisingly, the cowboy couple decided to do so on the wild frontier of the Internet. You can catch up with their adventures at www.UncoveringAmerica.com. There you will find photographs, writings and video clips taken along their journey. We browsed the site and learned the couple successfully reached the end of their trail in Hendersonville, N.C.

Enjoyed serial story - I've decided to take time to write to tell you how much I enjoyed the story The Agreement by Jo Maseberg, which ran in CAPPER'S last year. The beginning I thought most unusual. I read it from beginning to end, and I could scarcely wait for each addition.

Problem cracked - Several months ago, we requested help through your Reader to Reader section for a source of hickory nut meats, since we had a crop failure.

We have been remiss in informing you of the phenomenal results. We were contacted by people in seven states - including California and Virginia. Some people sent supply information, and others went so far as to send nutmeats without a request for funds to cover costs involved. One party even sent a second supply with specific instructions not to remit anything. They simply wrote that they enjoyed sharing their good fortune with others.

Such are the people in your readership. We are most thankful for your part in solving our problem. Again, thank you for your cooperation, and we will continue to enjoy your publication.
