Letters A holiday message To the Advance-News: May I introduce Larry Buck to you? He and his new bride and Mr. French, their poodle, were so excited about their first visit to our new home in Bridgewater, Virginia. They arrived in the Martinsburg area, gateway to the Shenandoah Valley, at 1:30 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, but they never got through the gateway. An accident on Route 81 took Larry through the gateway of which we all must enter someday. Lynda, his bride, miraculously survived the accident and Mr. French, their apricot poodle, jumped out of the car and is being looked for by citizens of the area. As in Love Story, “What do you say about a 24-year-old boy who died?" That he was dedicated to living life to its fullest. That he was my youngest brother in a family of eight. That he had great respect and appreciation for his parents and family. That he was very much in love with his bride of five months. That before he left Dayton on Thanksgiving Day morning, he told his mother how much he loved Lynda and that he never before had been so happy. That he had a twin sister, Linda, and we older children adored them both, and they, too were very close. That he was an outstanding wrestling coach and assistant football coach, and an inspiration to the team at North Wood High School, Nappanee. That he had a fantastic philosophy of life and death and an amazing sense of humor. That he gradu-

ated from Manchester College, sister of Bridgewater. That he was loved as a teacher and during health class he said he ‘‘believed in being high on life, not drugs.” That he was an outstanding Boy Scout leader and helped to develop five Eagle Scouts in his two years in Nappanee. That three memorial funds have been started in his honor: Manchester College; Larry Buck Memorial Wilderness Campsite, Pioneer Trails (by his wife); Fairview High School, Dayton, Ohio (where he graduated). That he was much influenced bv Christian belief of living your Christian convictions through service to others. That as a driver's education teacher, he was much concerned about the “war on the highways." That on Wednesday before Thanksgiving, he gave this excerpt from a poem to his four classes, saying that the poem was also a favorite of a dear friend of his who was killed in an accident two years ago on November 20. (Steven Hazelwood, former coach at Nappanee). The poem: As I go my way My life shall touch a dozen lives before this day is done. Leave countless marks for good or ill ere sets this evening sun. So this the wish I always wish, the prayer I ever pray: Let my life help the other lives it touches by the way. Larry told his students on that day, as many have told me nee. and I've made many friends here a man here, because here I found my wife and real happiness Happy Turkey to you all.” Larry never arrived in the Shenandoah Valley, but may this message of a young person who lived a life of love

Mrs. David McKnight Bridgewater College Virginia Note: Mrs. MeKnight’s message also appeared in the Martinsburg Journal, Martinsburg, West Virginia.

Mrs. McKnight, the former Rosalind Buck, was listed in the 1968 edition of Outstanding Young Women of America for her work in the ghettos of Long Island, New York. Since the letter was written, Mr. French, the Buck's poodle, has been found and is happily back in Nappanee with Lynda. Merry Christmas Merry Christmas everyone, As I write this, Christmas is still two weeks away, but as you read this it's very near. Before I state my serious Christmas wish. I'd like to say I nope the basketball team is winning. I'm really yelling and thinking of you guys over here. Also, my next letter will be a long one after my skiing trip which is Jan. 1-10, and 1 11 catch you up on everything then. Now for my Christmas wish. I hope all of you can know the happiness I’ve known in the past year. God has blessed me with so much and I'm praying now that each of you can know the joy, peace, and happiness of Christmas. I've, received two Christmas cards from other exchangees this week. A girl from California that's in Belgium now, and was my roommate in Philadelphia, wrote that Christmas is “one of the happiest times here, yet one (filled with) the most homesickness.” I think that's true for all the exchangees, The other ex-
changee, a boy from Arizona, who is in Bolivia, wrote two really great poems which express it beautifully. I hope you will all get to meet Bruce some day because he’s a really great guy. (Here is one of his poems).
