Maybe some of you will take this as a compliment, but I mean it — I don’t want to leave Nyssa! On Aug. 20 of last year, my family (Mr. and Mrs. Paul House, Bonnie and Butch) met me at the Boise airport. Right there, I knew they were nice people (and I was right, too). When we arrived home. Dad said, “Well, this is our home — Welcome home.” “Wel come home”—those were the first nice words I had heard that eve- ning, and I felt right at home with them, too. Meeting the people of Nyssa was the next step—I think I did pretty good on registration day, thanks to Bonnie’s introductions. I made friends faster than you can say “Howdy,” by smiling and saying “Hi.” By the end of my first week, I had more than a handful of friends. f,mr>d Nyssa Nvssa people neonlp very v e r v* * * * * *<nn< anrl «k« k— . . . ♦ . . . . a - I i found sons and also during noon hours last year, too.
