ON OUR FAMILY      We fulfill our responsibility as parents when we nurture our young, instruct them (when they'll listen) and, in return, hopefully we learn something from their ebullient independence.      Diana Elizabeth Flannery (John's 18-year old daughter) and Alexandra Elizabeth Kimbrough-Smith (Holly's 19-year old daughter) challenge us daily.  But they also have been a big help.  Both helped with John's book, "Pain in America ..."       Our "other daughter", Miriam Haubner - an exchange student from Germany, joined our family while she attended nearby Loudoun Valley High School; she will always be a member of our family and we can't wait to see her next.   We are also proud of our visitors from Northern Ireland as part of the Children's Friendship Project for Northern Ireland (CFPNI).	Ma & Pa (in India)!
