I mailed a letter to the University of Michigan. In the letter I asked them to mail back
anything that was in a U of M envelope.
I wanted to see something addressed to me from the university. That would be as close as I’ll ever get to
that school.
I never had the grades or dollars that would allow me to be a
student there and yet I’ve always been a fan.
The high school I attended failed miserably at teaching me anything. They excelled, however, at labeling me and writing
me off as a lost cause.
The letter I sent U of M would have to be opened by just the right
person, anyone else, and it will just go into the trash.
I will have weeks of commercial-free entertainment for the
cost of one postage stamp. With each
passing day that a response doesn’t arrive, my anticipation will build.
The potential for them responding is real. As they say, anything can happen.
Last year I sent out a few letters to strangers, just to see
if any would respond. No one did. Now, however, that time has passed, one or two
of them could be wondering what that letter was all about and what would have
happened if they had responded, so in an odd way, I’m still getting enjoyment out
of it.
In the event the university does send me something, I'll scan it if I can
and post it here so you’ll know the outcome.
Tata for now

As of 6-17-2025 they have not responded. Maybe I should have included a stamp with my request.
