We are all doing well as a family.

I have received a B.S. in English. I am currently seeking my Masters at Empire State College in their Masters in the Art of Teaching (M.A.T.) for English. It is my hopes that I will be a Teacher soon; however, with the economy in the state that it is in now it is quite difficult.

Victor is currently living in Marietta, GA. He is married and has a beautiful baby girl named Kali French. He works for the Cable Company down there.

Desmond is stationed in N.C. at Fort Bragg where he is part of the Airborne squad. He has already served his mandatory 4 years and has re-enlisted. He also made Sergeant.

Sita is working as a teacher in Baltimore for a small private school called Hope Academy. She has bought her first house around the corner from John Hopkins Institute. She is also working on her Ed.D. She is very excited.

Govinda has 2 children. A daughter named La'Tia Paris French and a young son named Cashmier French. He is in the works to develop his own graphic design company. Since I can recall he has always had an affinity for crayons and pencils. Who knew that his ability to draw and captivate the eye and mind with images. He is very talented.

Though we are all up in age now 27-29 it seems like only yesterday that we were sitting there in your studio smiling and cheerful with a hope that our wish to be adopted together would come to fruition. I must say that we were fortunate to have someone like you in our lives dear Jack. When we were first introduced on your show it had only been "airing" for 4-5 years prior. However, I believe that it had been airing in your heart for decades. Your passion and dedication for a cause such as the Wednesday's Child has truly helped not only us but many other small children just like us, and will continue to do so when you finally sign off. This is your legacy. We, the French Family are a part of your legacy.

I am very much interested in helping in any capacity that you need. If you would like to do an update on us, or would like me to make an appearance on the show or simply be there I would consider it a great honor.

Aside from knowing first hand the need for foster children to be loved and have a home to call their own-whether it is returning back to their biological family or a new home, there are many children that don't and it is sad. However, I believe that each of them needs hope. The same hope that you gave us as you whispered in our ears, hunched, smiling over us wearing your black turtle neck shirt and your red shiny hair neatly coiffed.

Please if there is any way in which I could be of service to you please don't hesitate to write or call.

Sincerely,

Vincent I. French
