Speaking of giving, the turnout of donui.s for the bloodmobile last week was rertainl heartening. It was especially appreciat'd by the Casto family, because a great deal of the blood donated was given in Kandy Castu's name. In talking with Mrs. Casto the other day, she was just overwhelmed at the turnout in Kandy's behalf. She asked, "How can we ever thank all of those involved, when fve don't even know who they were?" Well, since she can't we would like to extend her appreciation to all of those who were willing to give to help. Randy is still in and out of the hospital, and will require additional surgery yet. But knowing the friends that he has, has helped him tremendously, Mrs. Casto stated. The Casto's extended a special thanks to members of the local Radio Club, who helped push the drive for donors.

But anyway, after the concert the five visitors, plus our two high school students, sat up until about 1 a.m. listening to one of the San Juan students play the piano, and also just visiting for some time. We found that they had really enjoyed their slay here, although the audience at the concert was small. You know, people are unique. For instance, Union students were apprehensive toward the task of entertaining the visiting students. "What will we do, they asked. "A lour of the city will take five minutes, then what is there".
