Daniel is from India and he is seven years old. He has scintillating, black almond eyes, smooth black hair, and his face, more often than not. bears a mischievous gaptoothed grin. He greets strangers and friends alike with a vehement “Meree Chtrissmas!,” a phrase he learned during the holiday season and is loath to give up. Occasionally, visitors are treated to a performance of song, dance and mime as Daniel flits about the room, from person to person, shaking hands, making funny faces, and singing Jingle Bells. Along with being gregarious, Daniel is a prolific painter in the cubist tradition of Picasso. His works cover the kitchen walls and refrigerator of his new home in Rappahannock.
Daniel’s new family. Freeman and Pali Allan and twelve-month-old Gabriel, greeted him for the first time at National Airport after his New York Shuttle flight early in December. Bleary-eyed from thirty hours of air travel, his only respite being the stop in New York to pass through Immigration, Daniel came through the gate with his guardian on the journey, Miss Pamela Gunter, a service volunteer-stewardess who devotes a portion of her free time escorting orphans like Daniel on long flights to their new homes in the United States. Weeks before the flight, she had met with Daniel, told him about planes and about America and become his friend—his “Auntie” as he affectionately called her. Miss Gunter was his final liaison between the Missionaries of Charity Orphanage, his home since infancy, and his new home and new parents in Flint Hill, Virginia.
