On this week's Second Look, WMRA's Marguerite Gallorini talks to French emigres, working here in Virginia, for their views of the American work ethic and our approach to vacation time.... Also, we revisit some compelling stories from our Refugees in Virginia Series, from high school, the doctor's office and on the road by bicycle!
