It was a great evening with a wonderful family, good food and great conversation. They have trouble admitting it, but they are the normal American family.

Diana will tell you that I have no problem voicing my opinion. If I had a problem I would have said so.

I've heard so much about these children --- no, young adults that I was looking forward to meeting them. I was not disappointed.

Thanks for your hospitality.
