Dear Primos and Friends:
Hope that you are all dealing well with the changes that are sweeping across the
country. It is comforting to see much effort and many moves towards bi-partisan
solutions.

Under the United States you will see a beautiful painting "Mending the Nation"
by John McNaughton answering what will it take to mend and rebuild America?
Each family member featured in the painting represents a different
value: courage, family, hope, faith, and love. McNaughton says those five are
the keys to rebuilding America: "Each value is required to make it work. Remove
one and the whole system fails."
God bless our country, Mimi
