Innocent But Assumed Guilty
      All I have to say is this: why do we live in such a time where people have to assume before they can ask their neighbors if they are in fact doing something when they are not?

I feel so sad when I have to say the word "goodbye" to the people here, especially my host families- Nora Skolnick and her family, Shirley Stewart and her family, John & Gretchen Kidder and family and Jay & Mary Ka...
