Inspired by Rajah.... how would you address

[Pam]

Here's the deal: DS just completed his last required merit badge, Personal Management, for Eagle Scout. One of the requirements was to interview someone in the career field that he is interested in. DS wants to be a Park Ranger, so he went and interviewed a Ranger at the local State Park.

Now, he needs to send a thank-you note to the Ranger, along with a photo I took of the two of them. My question (yes, I do have one through this long-winded narration!) is how should the salutation read: Dear Ranger _______ or Mr. _________? And how should he address the envelope - Ranger or Mr.?

Funny aside, the Ranger's first name is Rick, so I had a serious case of the inner giggles whenever I thought of Ranger Rick. (Remember the kids magazine?)

I think Mr would be just fine and LOL at Ranger Rick.

 

[shep]

no idea, and I had a subscription to Ranger Rick when I was little..

That's too funny! I love the Ranger Rick magazine, even now at my age.

I would address him as Ranger Last Name Here and the the envelop as Ranger Rick Last Name Here, or Ranger Last Name Here.

Anyone else??

 

[Rajah]

LOL!! How cute! I'm sure he's heard that joke over and over and over....

I agree with Saffron.

I never heard of that magazine. I used to get Boy's Life.

Dan,
Boys Life is for Scouts - my Dan also has a subscription to it!

Ranger Rick is a nature magazine for kids, My Big Backyard is for preschoolers and Ranger Rick is the next level up. My Dan had subscriptions to both when he was younger. (He's wanted to be a Park Ranger since he was around 4 yrs. old!)

I would address it with "Ranger" over "Mr."

I think the persons "title" (Ranger, Coach, etc) are more appropriate then Mr. or Mrs.

I agree with Saffron.
