	4. NEWS OF THE WEIRD SOUNDS FISHY: British tourist Sharon Tendler has definitely outdone the trio of persons who recently ?married? in the Netherlands. Tendler finally made her dream match in late December by ?marrying? a dolphin she has been visiting for 15 years in the Israeli resort of Eilat, reported the mass-circulation daily, Yediot Ahronot. Tendler, 41, has been visiting the city on the Gulf of Aqaba two or three times a year to spend time with her 35-year-old underwater sweetheart, according to The Age (Australia). ?The peace and tranquility under water, and his love, would calm me down,? the Israeli daily quoted her as saying.
	5. SIGNPOSTS An Ordeal Of Life, Death, And Faith Ed. Note: Last summer, a moving drama played out over several weeks near the CHALLENGE?s base in Washington, D.C. Its most moving moment, but not its final one, came as a feisty baby girl was born 13 weeks premature in Arlington, Virginia, to a beautiful, young, but brain-dead mother. Susan Torres, 26, also the mother of a two-year-old son, had effectively died the day before Mother?s Day, at 15 weeks of pregnancy. Though in deep grief, Susan?s family fought for the life of her baby. We learned that our good friend and colleague in religious journalism, the Rev. Dr. Edwin P. Elliott, a Reformed Presbyterian minister from Manassas, Virginia, had firsthand knowledge of this ordeal of life, death, and faith. We are pleased to pass on Dr. Elliott?s account of it here.
