What A Great Pen Pal



Harold Hackett has a pretty cool hobby.

He writes messages, encases them in bottles, throws then into the ocean and waits for a response.

He is one old school SOB.

Since May of 1996, he has sent 4,800 messages via the Atlantic and received over 3,000 messages back from all over the world.

He has received letters back from Africa, Russia, Holland, the UK, France, Scotland, Ireland, parts of New England, Florida, Norway and even the Bahamas.

Some messages are lost for 13 years before he hears a response...

The best part is that even after he gets a response back, he keeps in touch.
