APPLETON
Sir:I thoroughly enjoyed your feature on sports in Appleton, Wis. (Hooray, Appleton, U.S.A.!, Aug. 11). I'm a transplanted Appletonian, and reading your series of articles about my hometown was almost as good as going home. I always knew it was a great place to grow up. Riverdale Drive had the perfect setup for kickball games and kick the can. Does anybody play those games anymore? Thinking back now, I realize it really was a great time in my life. I think I'll call Mom and Dad and have them send me some bratwurst and an Old Style beer. Then I'll really feel at home.ANN (VAN STRALEN) JOHNSONMoses Lake, Wash.
Martin, a graduate of the University of Colorado, was born in Fenton, Mich., and now resides in Boulder, Colo. I think she should receive acclaim as the first American winner of a Tour de France—not to overshadow the great victory of LeMond, but simply to set the record straight.
