In 1997, Peter von Ziegesar, a freelance writer living in New York, called me. Peter began by asking if I remember the day we went to pick-up his stepbrother at who was in prep school at the time. I said, yes I do.

"Well, that same boy has been living on the streets for years now and I have started getting involved in trying to help him."
