Kunin declared Oct 1 as Quality Education Day in Vermont She said she wants to involve parents and teachers at the local level "We can't just talk about local control without doing it" Kunin said at a news conference. Kunin said a meeting dedicated to discussing how to achieve quality education is necessary to bring residents into the planning process. "This is not a state mandate, but a suggestion, a strong suggestion," she said.

And the Nynex Foundation and New England Telephone will provide $25,000 to help restructure elementary and secondary school systems to focus on student performance, not grades.

WAKEFIELD, Alice 84, 90 Ethan Allen Parkway. said Layton. He said Sang, who lived in South Royalton and worked at a West Lebanon, N.H., manufacturing plant, enjoyed his role as a single father.

"He was very proud of taking care of his daughter. He had her name on his license plate. He was very careful about drinking when he had her with him," Layton said. Friends gathered later Friday morning at the Hartford Cemetery. The Vietnamese Association had raised money toward the services and also to help Sang's daughter.

Candles and incense burned at the gravesite. Some visitors placed gifts near their friend's casket But Layton said all was not peaceful. A legal battle over custody of Thanh Thuy is brewing between Sang's fiancee, and the little girl's mother. And there are the unresolved issues surrounding Sang Van Luong's death. "I last saw him in March.

He was happy. He had a home, he had a new car. Everything was going fine for him," Layton said. "He really had the American Dream. Maybe he lost it Maybe he did get drunk and do it We'll know one day," he said.

When Ngyuen finally made it to Burlington via Malaysia, he said Sang, whom he did not know, was waiting at the airport for him. "He knew I was coming. He picked me up, and we hung around together. He said, This is He loved freedom," Nguyen said of his friend, as he displayed a picture of the muscular Sang in a blue swimsuiL Nguyen said the photo was taken several years ago at North Beach in Burlington.

An American friend, Preston Layton of Colchester, said he met Sang in 1975, and wasn't sure how things would go between them. "I was a Vietnam vet, and he was the first Vietnamese I'd seen since the war. But we hit it off. He was really full of life. We lived together in Burlington.

He was a strong, simple person. A lot of the Vietnamese people here really respected him," said Layton, who works in patient admissions at Medical Center Hospital of Vermont. Layton said his friend's demeanor belied what were perma Held Funeral Home, 87 S. Main St. Albans.

"Whenever he'd go through an airport, he'd set off the metal detector, he had so much shrapnel in his body. He had been severely wounded," Layton said. There were about 80 people at Friday's services, most from among the Burlington area's Asian community.

Last week's crash remains a sensitive subject for them, due in large part to what many of them feel was unfair news coverage of the fatal accident Some of Sang's closest Vietnamese friends declined to be interviewed Friday. Layton said their reluctance is due to media accounts that said Sang been drinking prior to the crash. "That has not been determined. The tests are not complete, and the police report is not complete, but (news reports) blamed him for the crash," Layton said. Results of Sang's blood-alcohol test won't be known for several weeks, Dr.

Paul Morrow, Vermont's chief medical examiner, said Friday. Three people in a van that collided with Sang's car also were injured, one of them critically. "I'm not saying he hadn't been drinking, or that he didn't cause the but we don't know," Janet Swinton of Bridport; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.

Your whole mortal existence was to glorify God and now you have a special place with Him.

Selfish as human nature tends to be, your warm smile and gentle ways are truly missed, along with your special talent of making everyone you meet feel so "special." There isn't a day that goes by that you're not in my thoughts and prayers. You will always live on in many hearts. One of Many Friends Whose Life You Touched In memory of Beverly Ann Danis who passed away on August 11, 1989: We miss you more each day that passes, We wish you could come home. We never realized how blessed we were, If only we had known. Our talks, our tears, our joys, our fears, All the things we shared.

If only we could tell you again, How much we really cared. Our lives are not the same without you, You meant the world to us. We know that life goes on without you, And so we say we must. But as the days years go by, The happy times and sad. Will always thank the Lord for you, And for what we had.

Our love always Claude, Michelle, Denise and Jeff Danis and Funerals day, Aug. 13, at 7 p.m. at the Mountain View Funeral Home. Interment will be at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, those who wish may make contributions in Garrett's memory to the charity of their choice.
