>Thanks so much, Bronwin. I did not receive your first reply so you certainly did not offend me quoting your father. In any event, I agree with you that the experience of growing up in Warren is being highly idealized by our peers, probably a common occurence. Actually, I got out of there as soon as I could! But I must say that I truly enjoyed the reunion and found our old classmates extremely kind and gracious (for the most part). Thanks so much for the tip about Rashid's news service. I will also send him the email of a friend of mine who has worked and lived in Saudi Arabia for many years, as well as in other middle eastern countries. He is exceedingly distressed about the vilfication of the entire Muslim and Arab world populations. Where are you living now, by the way?

>Hi Judy,
>I rediscovered your email on my computer and decided to write. I've been

>I sent quoting my father. I forget that people who didn't know him didn't

>misunderstanding as they contain no facial expressions or voice inflections.

>While I don't share the Mayberry, Happy Days memories of our hometown that my

>an effect of my family life. As far our class, I believe we were by and

>My son is on the staff of the Washington Report on Middle East
