President's Message - What It Is All About by James L. Brazee, Jr.
A Profile In Courage - One Homeless Man's Story by Joseph Cerquone - Although Arron Maxwell's 36 years have resembled an interminable test of survival, his spirit has remained dogged. Abandoned as a child, Maxwell found refuge in the bottle during his adolescent years. In the service, his drinking led to a dishonorable discharge. Today, however, he is sober and determined to set his life on a new course.
