For about a year. One of the girls I met at horseback camp with the Girl Scouts and I kept in touch for a while. She was from the other side of PA.
I started a group in the county I live in to help the kid's get out more and socialize and we have started a Pen Pal program.
I did for a short time. I think we got pen pals through school and the gal was in Scotland. We corresponded for a few months then stopped. I don't recall why.
I remember when I was in 5th grade, I was in a small control group that was being taught German. I lived in Cleveland, Ohio and all I can recall was I was part of an experiment to see how younger students would do with learning a foreign language. Through that class, I remember having a pen pal from Germany. For some reason I can still remember her name being Angela. We exchanged several letters during my 5th grade year(appx.1963) .After that class ended, so did my letter writing. As I turn 60 in a month, I wish I had continued with my pen pal. You never know how interesting it could have been following her life' progress.
I was a pen pal with one of my second cousins, after we spent a family reunion together. She was close to my age, but had no siblings for first cousins.
I've had LOTS of pen pals, mainly through summer camp. I corresponded with the waitress I met in Switzerland for 20 years! In fact, we're still in touch!

Military Pen Pal?I've always wanted to have a pen pal, and I think I would like to write to a soldier, but I don't know where to go. Do you know any sites where I could get the information to be able to be a pen pal?

How do you get an international pen pal?Its one thing to join a website that is available around the world, but that does not necessarily mean that they also want a platonic relationship. I would like an international friend to learn and appreciate their culture, as well as they can with mine.

When was the first time you started writing and what piece of work did you create?I remember writing a story about a time traveller as a schoolkid in the backpages of a notebook and the buzz it gave when my classmates read it... I also wrote a short poem about a piece of chalk being a martyr as it...
