As I pointed out....'now, you probably thought all Jews are white.' FIRST is great at impacting culture!
Jon,

I would have loved to have been there. I remember some of the posts and stories you have shared with us about the experiences you have had. They have all made me smile and very happy to see so much positive impact occurring.

@Alan - your wife has an awesome sense of humor.

Jane
