Got this e-mail today through our "contact us" link online:

Dear Editor, Hello! My name is Anthony Abinanti and I am a fourth grade student at Evansville Day School. I am doing a 20 page report on Pennsylvania. I would be very pleased if you could send me some souvenirs, postcards, or any thing that relates to Pennsylvania and also publish this in your newspaper. This will help me a lot! Please send to Anthony Abinanti at Evansville Day school 3400 N. Green River Rd Evansville IN 47715. Thank You very much, Anthony Abinanti

What do you think? Am I getting spammed by a fourth-grader, or should I legitimately drop a copy of the paper in the mail for the kid?

My name is Joan and I'm a lifelong Yorker. Throughout high school and college, I swore I was getting out of here as soon as possible. Now, a few years later, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be. I love my town. And, as a local editor, I hear every day how much you love your towns, too. So please, connect with me and let's share what makes life in York County great. I'm here to help you enjoy this place as much as I do!
