Okay thanks. Hey, I rewrote my letter containing my request about the RR XING on Arthur and this time I sent it to 9 Story Entertainment but I snail-mailed it because I was more comfortable doing it that way.

I also gave other suggestions and ideas for Arthur, like A Death of an Elderly Character and how the survivors react to it, although I begged them not to let it be Thora or MacGradey. Another idea I had was Arthur and Buster getting into a huge argument worse than they've ever had and breaking off their friendship, but in the end they make up and befriended each other again, but not without tears. I also told them what I liked about Arthur.

The letter was longer than I intended it to be, it ended up being 12 pages, but 6 double-sided sheets. But I was very specific about what railroad crossing devices I wanted to see. In addition I also sent drawings of what I would like the crossing signals and gates to look like as visual aids, and artist renditions of what rail crossing signals may look like on Arthur.

I even made an Elwood City street map, using the Elwood City map on the pbskids.org/arthur website and adding to it and adding a railroad map showing kind of how I imagine what Elwood City may look like and where the rail lines are, what streets cross the tracks, go under and over the tracks. Except for what I used from the PBS website, my map is only 1% accurate, I had to get very creative not only by placing the tracks, including a rail yard and station, but adding more streets connecting to the existing Elwood City streets.

Considering how much paper I used, I sent the letter and the artwork in two separate envelopes and put four stamps each on both envelopes and I wrote on the envelopes "An Arthur Fan's Idea and Request for the Show Arthur" or something like that. I also wrote on the envelopes Return Requested implying if the mail went to the wrong places or if there were any other problems with the mail that it be returned to me.

I also requested in the letter that if they were sent to the wrong recipients, they be fowarded to Marc Brown Studios, or whomever, or just send them back to me.

I hope I learned something from sending the previous messages to WGBH. And I hope I got it right this time because it took me hours, through midnight, although I admit I did extra work, more than I should have, so all I can do is hope it works this time, I went through a lot of trouble and used 8 stamps. I started the letter and art projects last Wednesday and worked into Thursday, which was the day I mailed them out.

Now I hope they get, and more so read my letter and see my artwork and really hope they consider and maybe accept my idea. And out of all the ideas I sent, the railroad crossing idea is more important to me than all my other ideas. Should be a few more days or weeks before I hear anything, if I hear anything.

I'll stop talking now, I tend to write long messages. Thanks for reading this and if you have any further advice or comments, please firmly but kindly leave them.

Regards,

Will
