It is made up of stories. I believe that, don't you? Here is one: Last week, I was in Mexico, and for a couple of days, I had a driver. He told me that his sister had gone to the US to work, leaving her family for three years so that she could get a job and send them money. *You can't imagine how sad it is,* he said. *The only happy time she has is when she goes to her class to learn English. She calls that her Adult Education class.* And then he asked, *Have you heard about that?* *Yes,* I said. *Those classes are conducted by my colleagues and friends.* So, I just had to tell you Jorge's story and to thank you for being the *happy part* of lonely people's lives. On this Thanksgiving, I will remember you when I count my blessings. Meta Potts, Moderator 4-EFF List Glen Allen, VA mwpotts2001@aol.com
