Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because......
My son-in-law became a citizen of the United States of America, this morning. He was born in Columbia, S.A. He has known hardship and deep personal loss with the death of his brother in a random shooting. Here he got an education, he is a scientist and working on his doctorate at Columbia University while doing research at the university. He worked very, very hard to earn his undergraduate degrees,two from Rutgers. He is a good man and the father of two of my grandchildren. I honor him for his work and family ethic. While he is the sterotypical latin male in some areas, he is also funny. You have got to love a man who has a sense of humor. And,to think he has developed one in two languages and two cultures. Congratualtions, John William!!!
