Dearest
Isobel and Jim,
You, who so
warmly welcomed our “short term migrant” family of four into your manse in
1970, Thank You in abundance for your graciousness.
I am so
embarrassed about our newly minted president’s rude behavior to your Prime
Minister. I apologize on behalf of all of us who still believe in our
nation’s mission enshrined in Emma Lazarus’s words on the Statue of
Liberty:
Give me
your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free, the wretched
refuse of your teeming shores,
Send
these, the hopeless, helpless lost to me. I lift my lamp beside the
golden shores.
With prayers
of intercession and petition.
Much love and
admiration, dearest colleagues,
Marilyn and
Joe
