Since the Dec. 2nd terrorist attack at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino California, their offices have received hundreds and hundreds of letters and cards ... banners, posters, and emails.    " 'I don't know of any other word to describe it other than amazing,' said Trudy Raymundo, director of the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, on Monday."  Commented fellow director Corwin Porter, "It's one of the bright spots that has kept our spirits up a lot through these times - the outpouring of concern and love and support."         news
           

Principle in the type:  "Service to others deepens and sweetens this life while we are preparing to live in a better world.  It is by serving that we learn how to serve.  When we are engaged in the service of our fellowmen, not only do our deeds assist them, but we put our own problems in a fresher perspective.  When we concern ourselves more with others, there is less time to be concerned with ourselves.     Spencer W. Kimball

As shows in L.A. go, the Los Angeles Marathon competes with the best!  There are experienced senior citizen runners, foreigners, costumes, and romance, --you know the whole thing!     " . . . Nicolas Pogu re-created an iconic look from the movie “Forrest Gump,” crossing the finish line as Forrest during his cross country run across the U.S., down to the (fake) beard, Bubba Gump shrimp hat and yellow smiley face shirt."   And yes, people yell,  'run Forest, run!'  when you are dressed like that.   Support and camaraderie abounded.   Well done (February 14th) marathoners!     news
