PATRICIA KLUGE
Everytime I read stories such as the one on Patricia Kluge, I have this fervent wish that someday God, in His infinite wisdom, is going to zap people like her down onto a Butte, Mont., side street, one week before Christmas, $20 bucks in change in a paper bag clutched in one hand and three kids at home, just to show them what life is all about.
I just have to live long enough to see it happen.
