Saying Good-bye

By Abbye Meyer | October 9, 1998

For most of us, this is a time of beginning in our lives. Some of us are just beginning college, and even upperclassmen are beginning their years of adulthood, beginning to live alone and beginning to accept more freedom and responsibility. We are encouraged to try new things, meet new people and develop new friendships.

Decide for Yourself

By David Berenson | October 6, 1998
