Yes, that‘s the letter of a young lad with a police record. Its like could be replicated thousands of times, most of them not so well written, because for lack of listeners they have not learned how to express themselves But the hurt is there all the more. Unfortunately, this young man‘s parents had to find out when it was too late for them but, in wanting to share their letter, we can glimpse something of what they have to live with deâ€"ling‘kwent, n. One who fails in duty; or commits an offence I think that all the kids who are doing so many things that the grownups are tearing out their hair about, are really looking for somebody that will have the time to listen a few minutes and who will really and truly treat them as they would a grownup who might be useful to them You know â€" be polite to them. If you folks had ever said "pardon me" when you interrupted me, I‘d have dropped dead! somebody And when Donna came and I couldn‘t understand why everyone made so much fuss because I didn‘t think it was my fault that her hair was curly and her skin so white and she doesn‘t have to wear glasses and thick lenses. Her grades were better too, weren‘t they? If Donna ever has children, I hope you will tell her to just pay some attention to the one that doesn‘t smile very much, because that one will really be crying inside. And when she‘s about to bake six dozen cookies, to make sure first that the kids don‘t want to tell her something about a dream or a hope or something, because thoughts are important too to small kids, even if they don‘t have so many words to use when they tell about what‘s inside them. Thank you for everything, but I am going to Chicago and try and start some kind of life. You asked me why I did those things and why I gave you so much trouble, and the answer is easy to give you, but I am wondering if you will understand. Remember when I was about 6 or 7 and I asked you to just Iisten to me? I remember all the nice things you gave me for Christmas and my birthday and I was really happy with those things â€" about a week â€" at the time I got those things. But the rest of the time I just wanted all the time for you to !isten to me like I was somebody who felt things too.

Mom, you are a wonderful cook and you had everything so clean and you were tired so much from doing all those things that made you busy. But you know something, Mom? If anybody asks where I am, tell them I‘ve gone looking for Here is something published by Earl Nightingale some time ago and I copy it unashamedly from time to time because I know he would approve of the extra publicity it deserves It is a letter written by a juvenile delinquent to his parâ€" ents.

"I didn‘t want to just buy it, paint it and just make it into a functional office with modern furniture. Having an interest in historical things, I decided that I wanted to make it as genuine to its period as possible." Upon acquiring the Snyderâ€"Seaâ€" gram House in 1990, Wyshynski decided he was not going to turn it into just another cold, drab, institutional setting for the kind of surgery that could, in itself, make patients feel uncomfortâ€" able. His patients â€" and he â€" deserved more. A surgeon for 25 years, includâ€" ing stints at hospitals in England, Toronto and Kitchener, Wyshynsâ€" ki moved to Waterloo in 1970. He gradually built‘ up his practice here, eventually opening a priâ€" vate clinic in a small Pine Street office. As his practice grew, howâ€" ever, he began looking for a larger, more elegant setting for his work. When he decided to move his cosmetic surgery clinic to the 89â€" yearâ€"old Snyderâ€"Seagram house at 50 Albert Street two years ago, Dr. Peter Wyshynski naturally felt inclined to give the building a facelift. 4 Tom Brockelbank Chronicle Staff .

In general, he said, the part of the house that people see and talk in is as true to the period as possible, whereas the surgical areas are stark white, contemporâ€" arily designed and filled with stateâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"art equipment. Wyshynski said about oneâ€"third of the house is modern, hygenic and sterile â€" qualities which pe_gple expect of a surgeon‘s office. During the remodelling Wysâ€" hynski also found that many other changes were needed in order to turn the old house into a modern clinic, so he had the plumbing and electrical systems Wyshynksi had much of the house furnished with a combinaâ€" tion of genuine antiques and newer, but still oldâ€"fashioned, items. Furthermore, each room was given a distinct personality using bold colors and period deâ€" sign. The effect is dramatic upon entering the house into the old living room (now the main waitâ€" ing area) and seeing its pale aqua ceiling, soft lemon yellow walls antL pin'k and ivory carpeting. "A lot of people get worried when they go to doctors‘ offices. They get intimidated. I wanted something that was going to be less intimidating for them."
