It also gives me the opportunity to reflect on my own good fortune in the midst of a very uncertain and often tragic world where such people as John Munday and John Hall offer an alternative to apathy and despair. . . Quite, Ecuador, 8.A., July 20, 1964. Dear Jack, Bunny, Bruce et al: Just as I had anticipated, the school year has come to an end and the LONG summer vacation is upon us. Last week was largely taken up with graduation exercises and receptions in honor of my three high school graduates, Victor, 20, Ricardo, 19 and Irma, 18. Victor did outstandingly well and took second place in his class. First place was won by Patricia, an enthusiastic addition to our growing church here at “Diospaj Nan.” Ricardo graduated the same (Wed nesday) morning, but from the high school in Pomasqui, not San Antonio, so I opted for Victor's ceremony as he’s been with me for almost six years, and prepared a special reception for Ricardo and Irma (brother and sister) following Irma's ceremony on Friday which I was able to attend. Miraculously, and despite end-of-year highs and lows, everything turned out wonderfully well. Victor had (roughly) 10 felk d 10 family and 10 high school teachers share in our celebration and buffet lunch that was so good everyone returned for| seconds. I was perhaps overly generous in my graduation gifts to them, but it was a once-in-alifetime milestone they passed and all three did well. Now I'm in the process of helping them to decide what course to pursue. Last week Victor enrolled in the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at the Central University and I am happy about his (our?) choice. He's good at chemistry and an expert at anything to do with animals or plants. Classes start in less than a month so this year's vacation for him will be short. Ricardo is still wondering whether to be a doctor or a specialist in computers, and Irma has yet to decide between Administrtion at the Catholic University or a job with World Vision. My blind boys had their ranks depleted as those that have homes have gone there for the long vacation. Rodrigo, 21, is a permanent fixture and since a bitter experience on the coast — his own choice to leave here has returned here a transformed young man. He's a born leader and could doa tremendous ministry with our many blind young people Jose, 16, has not been able to continue with his formal studies because of problems getting his birth certificate updated, but we're still trying Luis, 15, has no family so I have informally “adopted” him. He is a Jivaro boy who hopes to complete grades 5 ‘and 6 in the Blind School this coming year. Angel, another Jivaro, is 22 and has just completed his first year at the Blind Institute. He is another homeless young man and the newest addition to our family Antonia, my cook who married my oldest “son”, is expecting her first baby in about four months and is presently on vacation in the jungle. Monica and the mother of two boys that spend every single day here, are helping with the meals until she returns in two weeks time. There are thousands of desperately needy children and young people who know virtually nothing of parental care or concern and so take to the streets. I often dream ey Se i obenthas \niethiar bores tn other parts olitecn haat effort to make a bigger dent and scratch more than just turning down both young plana to build an Old Folks Home) who plead with me to, take them in. ‘The embassies are taking an appreciated interest in “Diospaj Nan” or “God's Way,” which is easier to pronounce than its Quichua Indian equivalent. The Canadian ambassador came through with his promise to transform floral gifts (for Canada Day — July 1) into money for our Christian Centre, and had his chauffeur drive him out here to hand me the larger part of the $600 he'd received through an ex-President (Galo Plaza), the Brazilian Embassy and others. ‘The wife of the American ambassador, telephones me now and then to make sure my health is OK and that the playground equipment is satisfactory. The slide, merry-go-round, swings, see-saws (teeter-totters), par- allel bars and another more complicated “jungle jim” piece of furniture have all been insvaiied and their bright and varied colors add a lot to our whole complex. I must have all these dignitaries out before too long for a big “Thank You” celebration. Other friends continue to be so generous. This morning another parcel of clothing arrived from missionary friends, together with just the amount of money we needed for today. Our swimming pool has just about been dug. Last week an Ecuadorian Christian — a high-ranking official in the U.S. Fisheries for the Caribbean and stationed in Puerto Rico, offered to purchase and send us a filtering system which would keep the pool clear and clean for a year or two at a time. It would be a welcome gift, but time alone will tell if it is to become a reality. Yesterday I had a surprise’ visit from a longtime friend whom I used to visit in the penitentiary some 15 years ago. Jaime is famous — not only for his criminal record (he has, as I remember, 15 murders to his “credit,” has made several escapes by tunnelling his way to freedom, has been literally tortured in various prisons and has the scars and irregular fingers to prove it, and won extra fame by hijacking an Ameritan yacht in an effort to flee to Florida), but also for the important figures who have hired him as personal ree, including presi and In 1973 he was released and visited me when I was living in Quito. I remember I had misgivings at the time, half expecting a knife to stab me in the back, so my prayer was extra short. But Jaime has remained faithful to God, has a wife and two lovely children and an excellent job as guard at a government vocational school. He had some of my tougher teenagers open-mouthed as he told parts of his story, gave a demonstration on using a knife in fighting, and unashamedly gave his testimony to the grace of God in changing him corfipletely. He is a tall, well-bufld mulatto and one’ of the few gériuine frilits of my “peiiftentiary ministry” those many years ago. We've had a few deaths since last I wrote. Our donkey gave birth to her third baby. He was a delightful toy-like copy of his parents but lived for only three days as his mother was unable to give him sufficient milk, and the cow's milk we gave him via bottle was apparently not an ideal substitute. At last I'm breathing normally and I've regained most of my old energy which is a relief as 1 was almost convinced that I'd become, overnight, prematurely old. I've already typed too much and said too little, but I've no time to keep a diary and I simply share what comes to mind , listening to the s of the older ones who ask for “private consultations.” One 18-year-old boy has on his birt) certificate “mother unknown; father unknown” but is ashamed to tell any of his friends he has been rejected and unwanted all his life.

Since joining the Squadron Gary Basson has been “an outstanding example to all he has come into contact with,” said a Squadron spokesman After successfully complet. ing the Junior Leaders Course, he was awarded in gliding scholarship and in 1983 obtained his glider pilots license This past spring he was awarded a power flying scholarship, however, his ac ceptance on the Regular Of ficers Training Program and Helene GARY BASSON subsequent enrolment in the Royal Military College, pre- empted the acceptance of this scholarship. Basson is currently com- pleting his Grade 12, and in- tends to complete his degree in engineering. His many other interests include electronics, compu- ters, outdoor activities such as camping and hiking and he is a 14 handicap golfer. Prior to his departure, his fellow cadets and many friends gathered to wish him well. “The officers, cadets and Parent Sponsoring Commit tee look upon Gary with a great deal of pride and they wish him every success in the future,” said a Squadron spokesman.
