Family, friends will be watching to support Amber

To the editor:

In response to the article "Oran teen going to national pageant": I would like to thank you for the article about my niece, Amber Seyer, who is Miss Missouri Teen USA. Leonna Essner of the Standard Democrat in Sikeston did a great job on the article.

Of course, we are very proud and excited about Amber's accomplishments and upcoming appearance on national TV. We know she appreciates all the good wishes and community support she has received and continues to receive. About 30 relatives and friends will be joining Amber in Palm Springs, Calif., to cheer her on in person at the live broadcast. We hope everyone else will watch at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 12, on NBC.
