     I met Sue and Chris last summer at a campground in the
eastern panhandle of West Virginia.  They appeared to be just two
ordinary campers.  It was after some casual conversation that I
learned they had been living in the campground for the past two
weeks.  Park authorities had informed them their time was up and
they would have to move somewhere else.  Sue, a young lady in her
late twenties, told me they had no place else to go.  Chris, a
young man in his early thirties, had lost his job, had no money
to pay rent, and no family or friends in the area.  Everything
they owned was in boxes.  Some in their tent, others outside on
the ground covered as best they could from the elements.  They
had little food and no way to keep any perishables cold.  They
carried water from a nearby spring.  They were fortunate in that
they had an old vehicle that did provide them with
transportation, but it was unreliable for the long trip to

to wash my dirty clothes.  I could not turn my back on these
people.  I could not return to my safe haven knowing these two
people were in such a plight.  I was with a group of campers and
had no personal transportation, so, I told them I would return in
two days and help them get to Fairmont.  Arrangements had to be
made to go home and get my own car so that I could return.
Knowing time was short I left them what food I had with me and
drove all night to get home.  After a few hours sleep my
girlfriend and I drove back to the campground.  No words can
express the looks on the faces of Sue and Chris when we arrived.
However hopeful they were, they still had great doubts that a
stranger would come back and help them.  I spent the night at the
campground and we rose early the next day to get their few
belongings packed in their truck and my car.  It was then I
realized that even had they bee...
