I agree 100%. I hope they are at least shamed, but maybe they will get a lot of bad publicity that each one of them will be voted out when they come up for reelection. And whatever they intend to do with the property fall thru. or get stopped because of under the table policies were exposed. Also I hope that the Christmas trip to the NYC department store will be written about with some of the pics, and bring in a lot more donations to the kids there and other orphanages too!

I wish we didn't have to have place like orphanages, but can you imagine if every orphanage in the world had this same kind of support from a couple, a group, foundation, or organization. Not just the money behind them, but the personal attention that Armand, Colin, their 3 boys, their staff, Colin's parents, and Mary's friends, and others to spend time with each child, and to hug and love for each child. And an administrator and staff like Pat is and seems to have working there at this fictional orphanage.

I have held off commenting on this story for the first 100 chapters. Trying get caught up on to date. I have read all of CLjobes stories so far except I bypassed Timothy because it say it's on hold and hasn't been updated since this past Feb. When I finished Adam Blake a few weeks ago, it had become my favorite of all of CL's stories. And I have liked all of them I have read. But now this one has become my favorite of them all. Great Story, Great characters, and Great storyline. I just hope he continues on soon. I see where he hasn't posted past Chapter 129 in a number of days. @cljobe Love this story!

Another great story! Keep up the Great Work!

A very good story that I thoroughly enjoyed!

I am thinking it is C Buck. I don't know if Zach would be willing to risk someone fighting back with his eye in the shape it is. Could really set him back. But Buck certainly may have ruffed Travis up some.

CL of all your stories so far this is the best of them all. After reading one of your story Security first and then another one that was out of sequence I went and started with your first story and then read all of them up to this one now. You have improved with each story you have posted. So I am looking forward to reading the rest up to your current story ARROW. Keep up the Great work!

“Speaking of break, Richard said some of the kids go with you over the weekend to your cabin.” “Last summer break, one child was told he had to stay at the school for the summer. I felt it would be too lonely since I had my best friend’s boys with me for the summer, he came with me and there was one other boy whose parents couldn’t pick him up right away. So there were two boys from the school and two boys from my hometown, and we had a ball. They ran with me, they fished, took nature walks, my mom and dad fell in love with them. Just recently the two boys that spent the summer wanted to spend the weekend with me, as it happens two other boys did as well. So I had four boys from school, two boys from home, and Mom was pleased to see so many children having a good time" Like markM did I miss something? I thought Adam was only in his 2nd or 3rd week at the school but might add a week because his Dad had just given him the audit he had complete, but the above says differently! The last chapter he was called to England. This chapter he left and arrived in England. So where did the part of him carrying students to the cabin come on the scene?

I have now read all of stories now written by CLJobe that were posted before this one. I have liked most every one of them very much. But as of now this is my favorite so far. I like the plot of the story, and the characters. Keep up the good work!

Great job on this story. I think you keep getting better with each one your write. Keep up the Great Work!

I really enjoyed this story! Great Job!

Yes, this again is another really good chapter. But since July 30th, 17 chapters later and we have only covered 4 1/2 days. I know a lot has happened in those 5 days. But we were all looking forward to the Board meeting and what was going to happen at that and Jake's investigation of the Foundation. Looks like we have a few more days in Malibu and Southern Cal, then Will has a trip coming up later in the week to New York with Darius, meeting up with JJ and maybe along with him a trip back to Palo Alto and the dinner at Escorial. I am grateful for the great story, but seem like it is parts of it is really dragging on. Sorry, I guess I just get way too impatient.

A short but funny story. I really did enjoy it. Thanks CLJobe!

Back in chapter one, "That evening in his room after dinner, he called for George. "George, I have a problem and I think you could help." "Yes, your Highness, if I can help I will." "My mother told me at my 16th birthday party I must select a young woman to be my queen. I don't think I'm not old enough to be married and I think I'm gay. What can I do?" "I'd suggest tomorrow you jog through town instead of around the Gardens. I'll have 4 of the guard jog with you. While you jog, take a look at the girls you pass, maybe there's someone you might want to know better."

I'm a Scorpio!!! Funny!

Thank You! Excellent story! I enjoyed it very much.

By the name, this wasn't what I expected. I thought it was about boys from a ship. But I think it is going to be a really good and touching story now. Look forward to reading more.

I really did enjoy this story. Love it when it has a good Epilogue that answers a lot of questions.

I have never heard of Dandelion salad or eating any Dandelion, but I have had Dandelion Wine when I was visiting up in Indiana back in the 80's. I didn't think it was that great myself.

@CLJobe This has become my favorite of all your stories. Great Job!

I was wondering that. If some of that land out there is free, they might look into the ex slaves getting small partials like Lucinius' Dad thought he was getting to begin with. Like that they will stay around a lot longer even if they start looking for wives. At first to get started, they might could work for Lucinius a percentage of the time and get their own property up to par the other percentage.

I don't like figs either. I have always planted a fig tree at the houses I have bought, because I think they are beautiful growing in the yard. I have always let anyone that wanted them to have all they wanted. The latest house I have bought has a smaller back yard and don't know if I will plant a fig or not.

Dates grow on a tree called a Date Palm Tree, Like plums on a Plum Tree, Pears on a Pear Tree, Peaches on a Peach Tree.

Wonderful story. I all the others I do hate for it to end. Maybe someday you will give us either an epilogue 2, or a side story maybe with Brad and Tony retired and Pat taking over for Brad with help from all the other ones that intend to stay dedicated to the future of Sanctuary. Keep up the great work. Your dedicated readers love it!
