Judy Liegmann’s recent experience at the mall
Our Saturday evening mall tract table was abuzz with activity and animated conversations. I noticed a young man with long, wavy hair standing by a large potted tree in the middle of the mall passageway, observing our interaction with a sort of shy curiosity. After a few minutes, I approached him and began a conversation. His English was heavily accented and halting. I learned that he had come from... read more

Jody McRoberts’ experience at Christmas in the Park

Highway to Hell
By all appearances Trevor was a fine young man, well groomed, well mannered and very well spoken. He was sitting on the short brick wall at the center of the cross walk that traverses Monterey Street from Second Street. The city streets were closed as hundreds (maybe thousands) of folks had streamed downtown to enjoy the summer evening and July 3rd Morgan Hill Street Dance. As I crossed the street I... read more
