Here are a few of your stories.</s>POLLY SMOCK: My name is Polly Smock, and I live in Stanton, Virginia.</s>ANDY GERBER: Andy Gerber and I live in Denver, Colorado.</s>SOPHIA DEMBLING: Sophia Dembling and I'm a writer in Dallas.</s>ANDY GERBER: When I was a kid I wasn't allowed to watch much television and I read a lot Isaac Asimov.</s>SOPHIA DEMBLING: Nine or ten years old for some reason I got it into my head that Charlie Brown just lost too much.</s>POLLY SMOCK: We said, well, ask the person who wrote the book.</s>SOPHIA DEMBLING: So I wrote to Charles Schultz, suggested maybe that Charlie Brown could win at something at some point.</s>POLLY SMOCK: I don't know if you're familiar with the story of Stuart Little. And the end of the book riding off into the sunset looking for his beloved Margalo. Well, did he find her? What happened? We just wanted resolution.</s>ANDY GERBER: And I have the little four inch by six inch piece of paper.</s>POLLY SMOCK: The yellowed copy of the letter from E.B. White on New Yorker stationary.</s>ANDY GERBER: Typed with his signature where he answered my question.</s>POLLY SMOCK: ...answering the questions that we had.</s>SOPHIA DEMBLING: We'd had a picture of Charlie Brown on the stationary...</s>POLLY SMOCK: ...April 18th, 1955...</s>ANDY GERBER: Whatever you got as a kid, whenever you, I think, get a response from an adult, it makes you kind of feel that you're an important person.</s>RENEE MONTAGNE, Host: More of your memories are on our NPR Facebook page.
