Hi everyone:



Just want to apologize for no recent communication. Carl is up to his eyeballs getting ready for his first day of school. Hiring new teachers, class schedules, student handbook, faculty handbook, on and on. School starts Mon. the 11th and today was the first day for the faculty. As late as Mon. and Wed. of this week he was picking up teachers at the airport. All from the states. They all sounded very diversified and interesting. A lady 74 returning to teach after some traveling, a young married couple of only 1 year, on and on. So he has been under a very tight schedule but, as those of you who know Carl, he thrives under pressure. He also had his first school board meeting and despite a little language differences, (most speak beautiful English), he said it went great. He is very impressed with the board and their attitude toward the school and acceptance of him. Soooo, all is great in Cochabamba! His communication with the blog will resume after Mon. and his first meeting with all his new students. He will be on cloud nine I am sure, as the first day of school is always one of his best days as an educator!



Jody and I are headed to Corpus Christi for Jana's graduation from Texas Tech. with her Master Degree in Psychology, (I am living my other life thru her). We are so proud of her. Tomey is parking his travel trailer at the beach for us. His trailer is nicer than Carl and my first apt. in college. It will be a needed rest from the last few weeks, as long as another hurricane Dolly doesn't come thru. If it does Jody, the kids, and I will blog you from somewhere in Canada!!



Have a great weekend everyone!
