Leslie Davis Miller shared this info with us. T Miller wrote the questions long ago. Thanks to both of them!

Curious Youth

Future reporter's inquisitive streak

Anyway, while clearing out T's desk, he stumbled across his diary from 1979 and read one of the entries, which ended in a question: "Were most of Einestine's theries correct?" Hmm, good question, young T. I think we all wonder that from time to time. T then informed me that he remembered that at that age of 9 he tried to end each diary entry with a question for the day. I thought I'd share some of them with all of you. (Spelling is a la 9 year old T)

Why is it that January 1 is always new year?

What does diary mean?

Was the viitnam are war?

How much tresure is buried in the sea?

Where did people first live?

People say glass was once made out of sand. Is it?

I have to put in the whole entry from Sunday January 21, because it's worth it:

Today I was walking home with Chris and mom and we saw a kid get hit by a car he was in shock at first. Will I ever see a rocket blast off?

And finally, from October 14:

Today we played a trick on the old lady. We put trash and coins on the floor and ketchup on the car.
