A Dr. John Dykstra Update

I talked with Dr. John Dyskstra's office this afternoon about his court appearance in Philadelphia in his immigration case. He got a five-month extension, which sounds like good news.

Dr. Dykstra is a veterinarian for cows and goats, and owns Eastern Shore Veterinary Hospital near Laurel. His wife, Dr. Sarah Dykstra died in August after being hit by an SUV while jogging near their Seaford home. John Dykstra's immigration problems apparently came to light when he buried his wife in Canada, where the two had met at vet school on Prince Edward Island.

We're not sure exactly what Dykstra's immigration status is because he's not talking to The News Journal. I'm sure he doesn't want to jeopardize his standing with the court, but we understand members of the congressional delegation are helping with his case.
