She recently knitted hundreds of woolen scarves for the Bosnian refugee effort through the International Rescue Committee.The McCammons were official representatives of the United States at an international trade fair held in Budapest during Lyndon Johnson's presidency, Lujza McCammon's first visit back since her departure.

Look Up And FeelI looked into the sky to feel your Son;He radiates my heart that keeps me young;Like an eagle soaring in unison with the wind;My Spiritual life has just began.I feel His presence warming my heart;Absorbing into my essence never apart;His warmth keeps me growing toward His Spirit;My heart is holy with all of His merit.I'm becoming the flower that blooms in the spring;That lifts up its beauty for all living things;The light from my torch, turns night into day;Just like a child that comes out to play.Thank you Father for sending your Son;Through His blood I have become one;If anyone out there has not looked up into the sky;Look up and feel, before you die!by Mark Louis Haley, grandson WILTON CURTIS MITCHELL WESLACO - Wilton C.
