He ran from the nuns and priests who employed him to clean stone ...

- When I say... "I am an American Soldier"I'm not shouting, I'm better than you.I'm whispering, I was a boy, and now I find myself a man. When I say...

- I could not express all the joy in my heart of wanting President elect Obama to become President as freely and as wonderfully described and written in Pat Montandon’s blog: Store- to- Store . Mine was a bit different, but with the same intentions and heart in mind that came to life for both of us. I was fairly new to my neighborhood and I wanted to make friends with my new ...
