When law student Steve Cohen embraced Jews for Jesus, his mother said to him Don't write, Don't call, don't visit. That was eight years ago, Cohen says. My children have never met their grandparents and it's a heartache for me. But his commitment is unshaken.

I just met a man who doesn't have a single complaint. Sik Kan Chung is 91. It took him 15 minutes to walk across the park to Woodgreen Community Centre from his place to meet me. Ten years ago it took him only 10 minutes. Another 10 years, maybe it will take half an hour, he said, laughing so hard his glasses slid down his nose. [Incomplete]

A dream come true for former Scarborough insurance man Frederick Carlisle is his three-hulled Caravel II. He bought it 5 years ago for $25,000 and has cruised more than 20,000 miles with his daughters Nora, 11 (left) and Mary, 13, (right) and his wife. During the five-year getaway on the world's oceans the girls managed to pick up six years' credits on their correspondence courses. The Carlisles are thinking of crossing the Atlantic Ocean a second time next year.
