Dear Overseas Opportunity Letter Reader,
"What age was your daughter when you moved out of the States?" asked one reader-guest at our Christmas Open House here in Panama City Friday night.
"Kaitlin was 8," I replied. "It was, we realize now, looking back, the worst possible age for making the move..."
Younger than 7 or 8, and a child doesn't really recognize what he's leaving behind. Older than 15 or 16, and that child, we've observed, can be old enough to recognize what lies in front of him.
