We tried hard to balance those morning announcements of losses and news shows of Vietnam in whatever way we could. Am so glad you made it safe and in one piece thru it, so many didn't and so many others were so shattered from it they still haven't climbed much further up the growing-up mountain til this day. I'm guessing there's many who still climb it fine because of You, more than you'll ever be able to know. Proud 2B YOR Friend, Joan |
