When we were children, we would climb in our green and golden castle until the sky said stop. Our.dreams filled the summer air to overflowing, and the future was a far-off land a million promises away. Today, the dreams of our own children must be cherished as never before. ) For if we believe in them, they will come to believe in I themselves. And out of their dreams, they will finish the castle we once began - this time for keeps. Then the dreamer will become the doer. And the child, the father of the man.

He admits that, "Like a lot of people, I looked on a trip to Russia as something akin to rocketing off to the moon." And Russia was, in many ways, a land of surprises. According to Bill, "The most pleasant surprise was that I was perfectly free to wander anywhere I chose Choose from 17 I nstock in the four cities I visited: Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev Models for $100 and Yalta. I was also free to photograph anything I wanted or anybody that was willing to pose. Nobody Over Cost followed me or told me I couldn't go here or there." But the greatest impact of the trip was the people Bill met, particularly the children, whom he calls "among the most beautiful I've seen."

Immune to jibes from sailors of more modern and sophisti cated craft, the old salts ignore references to them selves as farmers and their craft as "potato barges" SANTEE COOPER RESORT they just keep on sailing, just like they have for 40 years.
