Influence of 鈥楯urassic Park鈥�
The June 11 Focus story, 鈥淩ise of the 鈥楯urassic Park鈥� generation,鈥� was great! I am a longtime science teacher, and I, too, have seen the profound influence that this movie series has had on my students over the years.

Thanks so very much for the Monitor Daily. I love it! I love the audio, the deep read opportunity, everything about it. Thanks!

Wisteria memories
Regarding the June 11 Home Forum essay, 鈥淎ttack of the purple 鈥榖ean trees鈥� 鈥�: Some of my earliest memories are of the scent of wisterias as I walked home from school. The fence in our side yard was covered with their beautiful blooms. That may be why I love that color.

Americans finding common ground
I really appreciate your July 6 Monitor Daily article 鈥淗ow a Millennial influx is changing a small heartland city.鈥� It鈥檚 interesting, balanced, and gives a good picture of the local situation and the attitudes of the participants.聽
This is the kind of story that is often underreported, where ordinary Americans are finding commonality and defining a bright shared future for our nation. Small is indeed beautiful when it comes to cities and offers the community and interpersonal interaction so badly needed in our large urban landscapes.聽
I鈥檇 love to see more coverage on the topic of encounters and commitments between old/young, urban/rural, wealthy/struggling, highly educated/poorly educated, conservatives/liberals, families/singles, etc.
