[Magdalen] Son Christopher "in the news"

[Ginga Wilder]

Thank you for posting this article, Chad.  I can only imagine the lifelong
impact that witnessing the joyful celebration turned into death and
destruction will have on Christopher and Claire.  And, I am struck with the
hope that abounds in the young Turkish liberals that equality will
eventually come to this rigid, warring culture.  Lord, have mercy.
