I forgot to add that another family maintains a home here in Rancho Santa 
Fe, one of the most expensive communities in the us.  The home is the site 
of an organic farm that is used to produce food for a special diet needed 
by one of the daughters.  Shameful in light that the money comes from 
exploiting low wage earners with no health care.
