Joh n is 12, a slim, healthy youngster of Indian descent, with dark eyes, black hair and medium Complexion. He wears glasses for astigmatism. John speaks both his native Indian language and English, and is very knowledgeable about his heritage. He has spent parts of his life in both cultures and feels he could be happy in either. John definitely wants a family who enjoys the outdoors because his greatest interests are there. He likes camping and. Is keen on fishing, hunting and trapping. An enjoyment for all sports is shown but he especially loves to swim. He likes music as a listener, but not as a performer. This lad is an average student in Grade five. It is felt his school work will be even better when he has parents to take an interest and when he knows he is settled in a home of his own. John is a pleasant, co-operative boy ready and anxious to have a family and prepared to do his part to make the new relationship work.
