He and his seriously ill wife had always flown the flag so he promptly installed a flagpole of the proper size and proudly raised one. Me and his wife would sit in their front yard on summer evenings, and strollers would stop by to visit them and each other. It was a lovely time.

An iissixiation meeting was held at which the colonel's flag was discussed and voted on by the board. The colonel had prepared a stirring statement concerning what the flag meant to him, mentioning his war experiences.

It's been months since we've been out, and I know he's not dating because he told me so. Neither am I. Abby, sometimes I'd like to call him up just to talk, or say, "Let's go out," but I don't want him to think I'm chasing him. I need him as a friend and I miss him. When we run into each other, that connection is there with just a smile. It feels right. Is this all because we shared the same grief years back, or is there more to it?

"Mel sincerely wants to lower the rhetoric on both sides. That is exactly what we want." However, Falwell said he still believes homosexuality is a sin. Earlier this year, Falwell drew criticism after a newspaper he publishes warned parents that Tinky Winky, the purple "Teletubbies" character from the children's TV show, could be a gay role model. LYNCHBURG, Va.(AP) The Rev. Jerry Falwell says he'll tone down his anti-garhetoric, but he won't change his view that homosexuality is a sin.
