Thanks, everyone, for writing to the kid. He got such a kick out of it, visiting the forum again and again to see if there were any replies.
He loves maps as much as I do, so it was fun pinpointing the states the posts were originating from. A great occupation on another snowed-in day! Tomorrow we have plans to play some games we are going to invent based on your states and that will be a blast, too. My kid has a marvelous imagination and it is so easy to entertain him and to be honest, I have as much fun as he does most of the time.
Thanks again.
