Again such great news!!!! Gill, so many of us here in the States have "adopted" your son and all I know are proud to share in any part of his life. Having been involved with Social Workers and the field for a number of years, I'm sure Sam will do a fine job, but as you say, getting that accordion out of his grip will also be quite a challenge. I'm sure both will fit into his life as his energy and capacity for achievment seem to be without bounds and his passion for things will take him far in all directions.

Sam, from the U.S. Midwestern Branch of your extended family we send you our best wishes, heartiest congratulations, and some warm hugs from......

Pat, Karen, Wayne, Connie, and our boys (We were all here today when I first pulled this message up and we were just gassed!!!)
