VISITING QUEEN FROM LETTERLAND

Gay Kampfmueller, as the Letterland Queen, arrived at Holland

Elementary School in Virginia Beach on Tuesday, escorted by ``secret

service agent'' Tom Long, to the delight of kindergartners there.

The school emphasizes a different letter of the alphabet each week.

For the letter Q, Kampfmueller, principal of Creeds Elementary, came

as a queen in a limousine and spoke to students using words that

started with Q, then had tea and cookies with the children.
