When Mike Speoner ioeked into the Big Brothers Association of Newcastle, ,and the whole idea of havinig a Little Brother, he liked what he saw. He knew he had some time to give te a boy without a father figure at home. Time. It's a precious thing te a young boy. Mike feels that a great deal of credit is due te the mothers of Littie Brothers, for giving their sons the opportunity te get involved in the prograniand te allow them te have the chance te have a Big Brother, quite possibiy enriching their lives. "For me . . ." adds Mike, " Sseeing a real friendship develop and grow naturaliy, then discovering that it is as equally rewarding fer the Big Brother, as it is for the yeung lad, is something pretty special. 1 wouid like te thanl Mike and SSheila Speener fer welcoming us mnto their home. 1 As I drove away from the Spooner home, while Shawn toyed with the family's do gs, 1 thought about those special feelings theseý "Brothers" toid me about ... "Yes. I recomfmend becomiiig a Big Brother," concluded Mike. "Yes. I'm giad te have a Big Brother. . ." said Shawn. And they both smiled.
