"Life is sweet just because of the friends we have made and the things which in common we share;
We want to live on not because of ourselves, but because of the people who care;
It's giving and doing for somebody else -- on that all life's splendor depends,
And the joy of this world, when you've summed it all up, is found in the making of friends." (Edgar Guest)
There is rarely a day that passes without my musing, at least momentarily, on the rich experiences we shared as we grew up together with our families and many friends, their families, and other interested parents and adults in the Santa Monica Ward. The multi-dimensional activities, diverse programs, and associations linger in my memories with a delicious sweetness that only increases as time goes on. It was a golden age for youth activity in the Church in Santa Monica which has bound us and many others together over time and space for a now-certifiable life-time. Well done, dear friend. Bon Voyage.
