Tonight, while tucking our sweet girl into bed she said "Mom, when I get bigger, I want to take care of sick kids like you and make them better like you do. And Mom, when I get bigger, I want to be a mom like you too"

"Yeah but if I'm ganna work, I'm ganna need to learn to drive. If I drive, I'm ganna need a car"
And so it begins, our four year old thinking about her future.

I, too, am a Vietnam combat vet having served on an M48A3 tank with the 11th ACR in '67 & '68. I guess partly because of Gary's involvement, I hopefully made a significant contribution toward Bella's camp fund...John Hien (jkhien@att.net)
