The language of this tribute by Paul Ancheta is so lovely that it is well worth repeating. Yes, this is the same Mara featured in a recent post here.-gw

IN A FABULOUS MARITAL SEASON, the news that Mark and Mara Fojas are expecting their first born is one of the most thrilling.

Imagine the progeny of a witty, willowy Mara and a wise, wholesome Mark. And then imagine the morals of their parents, the music of the Filipino forefathers, and the magic of growing up a Bahá'í. What a wonderful, brilliant star ahead of us!
