Dear Editor,
On Thursday, Oct. 28, I accompanied my son’s kindergarten class on a field trip to Uesugi Pumpkin Patch. My family and I visit there every year and we always enjoy it. We were there from 9am to 10:45am. During this time there were many other schools on field trips. My husband placed our video camera down for a few minutes while he loaded pumpkins into the bus. During the few minutes it took him to do this, someone stole the camera. It is hard to believe that this could happen when the majority of the people there were teachers and parents – but it did. We hoped that someone would turn in the camera, thinking that maybe someone lost it. That did not happen.
The employees at Uesugi were very helpful and sympathetic. The camera is gone and I can always get a new one. What I cannot replace is the video tape with my son’s first day of kindergarten and my oldest daughter’s first day of third grade. Also on the tape is my 4-year-old’s first day of dance class and my childrens’ soccer games. There are so many memories on that tape that are precious to our family.
I hope the person who possibly took my camera will read this letter and please return my video tape to your office anonymously. Or, tell me where to pick up the tape by calling 846-6356. Keep the camera – that’s not what is important to me.
Elizabeth Camacho, Gilroy
