I am separated by emotion and distance. I am impaired, physically and by health. I am getting old. I am an orphan. I am ever so grateful that I have a wonderful daughter, a roof over my head, friends that love me, family that loves me. I have experience and knowledge I can share and I am grateful that I knew my parents and that my daughter knows hers. I am alive, mobile and able to do for myself. I am grateful that I have an active mind and have the intelligence to use it for others benefit. I look at the world around me and realize how fortunate I and our nation is to be safe, without want, without fear and with a future utterly unimaginable but a short time ago. Let us know our faults and endeavor to improve ourselves and help those less fortunate than we to realize their freedom and potential. My friends I am thankful and grateful for each and everyone of _you_. Be of good cheer for we are indeed fortunate. Happy Thanksgiving to each and everyone of you. With love, Newton Hunt >> As a list-lurker who rarely posts, may I say what all of us already know? Newton, you are a gentleman, a scholar, a person of great wisdom and a treasure to this List and profession. Rarely have I encountered so heart-felt and so accurate an account of this season--and for that, I am thankful that I have learned to know you, if only from a distance. Long may you wave!
