I hope you live a long, long time, Dr. Waug!

Dear Dr. Waug,
You are soooooo nice to do this for us. I’m Natalie, and I’m going to be born on February 23, 2037. That’s exciting, because it’s exactly 100 years after you! I hope you live a long, long time, because I want to meet you. I want to say thank you for working so hard to make my life better than what it was going to be without your help!

Actually, what I like about the WAUG kid Web approach is that it’s not about sending money to you to help kids that are alive right now. There are other organizations that do that. You are really trying to make a difference in the way the whole world works, right? You are trying to get people interested in thinking about doing the right things for all of us who are going to come along into the time/space existence in what you call the “future.” It takes a wonderful person to think of that!

I wish I could have thanked Dr. Sim for all the research that got you into this WAUG thing, because that must have been great. I don’t understand all that stuff about “philosophy journals” and all, and what she studied that made her care about us, but I sure wish I could say thanks to her too.

Well, try to lose weight and stay healthy so you live to be over 110, because when I’m born I’ll forget all the stuff I know now, and won’t really “get it” until I’m at least ten, if I ever get it. So if you live a long time, I can be big enough to appreciate your work. Thanks a lot.

Natalie Brown (I picked that name myself, but I don’t really know what they’ll name me when I’m born.)
