Have you ever had someone come into your life for a brief moment who touched your heart? The past two days at Ellinwood High School, Marion Blumenthal-Lazan and Nathaniel Lazan not only told of, but displayed a message of love, compassion, and hope that I have never had the privilege to witness to that degree. The Lazans were welcomed to Ellinwood, thanks to Connie Mitchum, Larry Drees and the Ellinwood Public Education and Library Foundation, and Ellinwood School-Community Library, and the two gave back powerfully.
