Rejoice with us: A Silver Jubilee Reflection
...could rejoice simply because they have given us a good excuse to come together, to celebrate and have a party – and what could be more joyful than to have Anji’s mother (Su Fengqin) here with us from China, and Su’s Polish clan originally from Chicago, here as well.
