My Joy, My Sorrow: Karen Ann's Mother Remembers
This book needed to be written. As a bereaved parent myself, I understand the importance of wanting to keep the memory of a dead child/children alive. Julia Quinlan's willingness to re-live the painful memories of her child's suffering and ultimate death show remarkable courage. She is indeed a very courageous woman. Her appeal to the younger generation of the consequences of dugs mised with alcohol is vital information. However, what comes through more in this book is the care-giving…

Star Wars Ewok Adventures - Caravan of Courage (aka The Ewok Adventure) / The Battle for Endor
(2004)
This 1984 / 1985 double feature from the Star Wars series is aimed at the children in the theatres. I found these two additions to the Star Wars series to be very entertaining. The costumes and stage sets are excellent, a lot of color and adventure that any child could relate to. The content in this double feature is very careful. I see no reason why a child couldn't watch these films alone. I have this DVD in my personal movie collection. It's a keeper! Reporter Joseph Toth Washington…
