I was starting to get concerned.  I mean, I’m the Governor’s advisor and all, but lately, Chris and I, well, we’ve lost touch with each other.  Ever since that special weekend we shared last November, it’s like he’s been avoiding me, but Chris finally broke the chill between us and wrote me this letter, you know, to let me know how he really feels about me, and our relationship…

Mr. Robert Walto
Pack Number 59

Dear Mr. Walto:

In honor of National Boy Scout Week, I wanted to thank you and your troop for the
invaluable work you do to positively influence the lives of youth in your community.

Since 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has helped mold young men in a disciplined
environment, teaching them the fundamental principles of nature conservation, character
development and the importance of service in one’s community. This week’s celebration offers
an excellent opportunity to recognize the important role that scouting has played in our
communities for more than a century. Scouting has prepared countless youths for productive
lives by fostering within them the importance of citizenship, service and leadership. More than
anything else, however, scouting makes young people feel supported and fulfilled, and the
contribution you make is incalculable.

The future success of our State is contingent on the healthy development of our children
and I commend your efforts to build our next generation of leaders. It is an honor to be your
Governor.

Sincerely,

Chris Christie
Governor

He even signed it himself – I’m so relieved – I thought he wanted nothing to do with me, but I guess he really cares!
