Story of John

David Cupp

Denver Post

John is half American (black) half Vietnamese War orphan when he came to his new home. When he came he was suffering from severe malnutrition complete with distended stomach and arms and legs the diameter of a silver dollar. He screamed when he was forced to put weight on his feet, and when he bathed.
