Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year Don! I am delighted to hear from you since you haven't been posting much on the city blogs lately. I recently got together with some folks from the church Tracy and I attend and one of the couples, Bill and Kathy had a reunion at Christmas with the foster child they raised together with their own children for 13 years.
Foster care is important and I wish Mr. John Dunn and RACAS all the best.
I also hope that you will make a return to public discourse in 2010. You have inspired me to become involved in this arena and your presence there is sorely missed by everyone. Our opinions count Mr. Lester and even though we cannot see the affects of our involvement as clearly as we would expect, they are there, slowly fermenting, behind the scenes. Remember, IT sometimes only takes one pair of eyes and the touching of one heart to make a difference.
For your convenience and that of others who may read this post, here are the City of Hamilton blogs where I hang out in order of preference:
