[philmont] Famous Letter

I have a similar letter that was given to us at Wood Badge at Zastrow, but
it is written about an adult attending Wood Badge. There is also a reply
letter from the Scoutmaster to the wife. I will post those if you want.

I think I have the original letter, and will dig around. If I find it, I'll
post it here and on the forum.

Many years ago, a PhilMom sent a letter to Philmont after her son returned
home. It was definitely tongue-in-cheek; and it was definitely funny. She
asked Philmont to explain her son's recent and strange behavior, such as
licking her good china plates clean in front of all the guests she'd invited
to welcome him home, and insisting on going out each night into the back
yard and hanging the family's trash up in a tree.

I used to have a copy but can't find it. I'd like to use it with our
parents at the Pizza'-n-Picture Party later this summer. I remember hearing
the PhilRep of the evening read it at Advisors' Talk one time. Do any of
you have a copy you could post; or, alternatively, do any of you know
someone at Philmont who'd have still have it?
