I thank Ms McDermott very much for coming here today. I know how hard it is for her to tell her own story. I completely understand that it is only now - after 2002 - she is able to come here to do so. I am sure that at times it is very difficult. How is John now? I believe that no one has asked this of Ms McDermott today. In the last session Ms McDermott gave us the poem from the sixth class about John, but I am assuming he is with us still.
