LETTERS

with contributions from BOB PRESS, NANCY SAVAGE, MARGARET MARGO SIMONS, LESLEE ALLEN, EVELYN HORN

Please thank Brian Asher for his thoughtful article "To feel at home" in the January 5 Sentinel ["The power of home"]. He wrote on traveling without fear and feeling a broader sense of family. I e-mailed it to a Japanese friend currently traveling alone in Mexico and heading to Africa. I also sent a copy to myself because I like the concept of seeing everyone as "family."

In my own travels, a similar sense of family has led my wife and me to a foster daughter, and "brothers and sisters" in Peru, the US, and various parts of Africa. But Asher goes one better, sensing family in strangers as well. Bravo!
