Hi, Ben.  Great to hear from you!  I trust all is going well in the liberal hotbed known as Oregon!  :)  Thanks for the comments - I was glad that you were able to catch the sound bites on the WOOD TV website.  It has been a harrowing experience for us - how a case of mistaken identity could go on for so long, and fool so many people, especially those close to her, is incredible.  Please pray for the VanRyn family.  Also, please request that your community to pray for Aryn Linenger, Laura's boyfriend and near-fiance at the time of her death.  (Laura was to graduate this past May, and Taylor actually did confer her degree on her when her sister Lisa walked in her place.  None of us knew at the time that the degree was posthumous)  He is the new "media darling" through this whole affair - he was the lead story on "Inside Edition with Deborah Norville" last night, and I have already been contacted by CNN about how they can contact him to get an interview for the Paula Zahn Show.  I expect that similar requests will be forthcoming, and we want to protect the VanRyns' privacy, as well as Aryn's.  God bless, and keep in touch.  By the way, you might want to watch out - Rachel Deater is talking about possibly taking a job in Wisconsin, which would put her one whole state closer to Oregon.  Just a warning!  :)  *lol*

oh so you have a "real" blog.
how cool are you. :)
