Praise for Pathfinders
Please allow me to publicly share one of a very few equally remarkable weeks in my life of 52 years. I … had not only the good fortune to be out on Lake Winnebago with these incredible young people, but in a more profound way, I had the chance to spend three days with high school-aged kids who were polite, engaged, kind, fun, great conversationalists, courageous and thankful to be in our fair city. I’m writing as the experience of those days was so moving — not a harsh word, no utterances of profanity, sexual innuendo, no put-downs or ill wishes. The utter example left with us by these young people … was the subject of conversation in our family nightly. As an active Catholic, I found the case for whatever it is within Seventh-day Adventism which bring[s] these youth to this state to be undeniably compelling. Thank you to my new friends for a remarkable, memorable and life-changing experience during your stay with us here in Oshkosh. — Steve Eliasen, International Youth Sailing, Oshkosh, Wis.

October Oops!
In the October issue's article on "Canvasback's Orthopedic Mission" on p. 17, the John Anderson caption on the left photo should be under the photo of John Anderson at the upper right. I enjoy the Gleaner in general, especially the "thought" articles in the last three or four pages ... also the email version [GleanerWeekly] with its links. — Carl Bankes, Portland, Ore.
