56 Hello! If you are reading this, that means you have found my little toy paratrooper! That might not sound like a big deal, but I let him go from 14,000 feet up in the air! I fulfilled two childhood dreams on August 3rd, 2019 -I went skydiving and I dropped a toy paratrooper from a very very tall height. This all took place in Gardiner, NY. I let this guy go as 1 jumped out of the plane, so who knows where the winds took him. I really really want to know where this toy ended up, so please write a letter back detailing when you found it (in case this guy is stuck in a tree for months), and, more importantly, where you were when you found it. On the reverse of this letter you will find the P.O. Box where you can send your response letter (and the toy, if you want to send him back)! Sincerely, Sean

Kotoku Wamura was the mayor of a village in Japan called Fudai. He spent billions of Japanese Yen on a floodgate that was criticized as a waste of public funds. He died in 1997, with the mockery of his floodgate casting a shadow over his legacy. In 2011, Japan was hit by an earthquake and tsunami, killing tens of thousands of people and damaging hundreds of thousands buildings all over the country. Except in Fudai. Wamura's floodgate effectively protected Fudai's citizens, leaving the village virtually untouched. In fact, the village barely got wet.
