Dana, your vivid descriptions of pride in your former home and your ability to express ideas that may have only been momentary twinklings of thoughts in others, now foster a similar pride in having you as part of this community. When a situation such as at VT puts our focus on one of the seriously misguided of the world, reading your message instantly reminds us that there are wonderful people such as yourself surrounding us. Thanks for sharing yourself and some of your world through your article. Peggy
