Newspaper: Births & Deaths (Continued from Page 1) ter of Melanie and Rich Larson-was delivered by Darla Deirmeyer on the bitterly cold night of January 3rd.

He worked most of his life as a lawyer—with a small blue office over on 5th Streetbut twelve years ago, after the passing of his wife Leah and chil- dren Kyle and Renly, he traded out the desk and filing cabinets for work benches and toolboxes and pegboards. He committed himself to what had only been a hobby before: wood-working. He has probably repaired a railing, bureau drawer, or porch step in your residence. He was a kind man and loved by all.

“We wield powers your people have never heard of. In our world, we would have been cast out for that-purged mercilessly from society. But no one here has tried to purge us. On the contrary they have done everything in their power to embrace us.” Picard nodded. "I see," he said softly. The mutant heaved a sigh. “I hope so. I hope you comprehend the wonder of a society that judges each being on his or her merits. More than your technological advances, more than the great distances you have traveled in search of knowledge... this is the true miracle of your rederation. Captain. This is your greatest achievement." She fell silent then, overcome with emotion, and the captain didn't dare break that silence. He waited until Storm herself decided to go on.
