John Young, these are great photographs!
Now... if only there were a Spanish section in the Journal-World, as well, so that Mexican and South American families could instantly get these stories. They may know English quite well, yet not always be good at reading or interpreting the English language.
And we will soon be a white-minority nation. It's time that everyone leaned at least a second language.
Why not see if the Journal-World can find volunteers to help each week with Spanish translations? (and other languages, as well?) It would be wonderful to see the major stories (and especially well commons) available on a separate page.
