This
was my going away party at the Lake Elizabeth Senior Citizen Building.
Many
friends and family came to share in my Going Away party on the 8th of July,
2000.
There
were many many people who where unable to make it and I missed them all
very much,
but
I was thrilled with those who did come and were able to spend at least
a little bit of time sharing,
talking
and saying our good-bys for the time that I am gone.
My commitment to stay and teach in China is
for two years.
I will
be home in the summers for a few months to continue study on my Masters
program
and
to visit friends and family.
I am
looking forward to that time with everyone.

I will be bringing home many pictures and stories to share of my experiences.
