once about visiting the death camps in Germany and Poland ..sometimes we have to force oruvelses to feel the haunting pain of those who have gone before us so we can continue the fight to ensure it never happens again. I am keeping you, Chad and the boys in my thoughts and prayers as are friends in my parish prayer chain. I so admire your courage and sense of adventure. Blessings to all. Mary Margaret
