  This was interesting and inspiring, John.  Thanks for writing it.

  Thanks for your compliments.  My experience as a page, like for most of my peers, was a formative experience.  I hope that the program can emerge from this scandal strengthened, so many more kids can have an affirming experience in our nation’s capital.

  Great article! Was thinking of you when all of this blew open last month, and was wondering about your take on events.

  It’s been a while since we’ve been in touch-- tried the blog link you had listed above, but nada. Let’s try to get together soon, eh?
