A while back, Jill King asked me if I knew what had become of Aswin Knight. I hadn't but thought since he had been an AFS exchange student and my wife and I were AFS volunteers and host parents, AFS might be able to tell me where he was. Thai students usually come with abbreviated names or nicknames and AFS could not locate him with the name we had. I asked Jill if she had any other information I could use. She was able to find the name of the family he had stayed with. Armed with that, I went back to AFS and they not only found him but told me he was also on Facebook. I sent a FB message but never heard back. Well, last night, I had a brain storm. We are currently hosting a Thai AFS student that seems to be plugged into every Thai social network. I had her write a message and believe this or not, within an hour, we both had friend requests. It turns out that he lives in the town where our student's mother was born. She still has distant relatives living there. The next hour was spent sending messages back and forth. He even sent scans of our yearbook with the notations that we had written in it. I have given him the address of this website and offered help to set up his account. For those that wish to contact him through FB, he is listed as: .
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Best Regards, Carl
