This is another great family or class project. Remember you don't have to buy a card - you can make one!! Have students or creative kids? Maybe they would like to draw a picture of his plane. Send a postcard or photos of where you're from. Be as creative as you like! He will LOVE hearing from you!
His daughter will send over a few pics from his special day.
