Whilst it all has been said before.... What a fantastic day I had on Saturday with the WWII Veterans on the Triad Flight of Honor. Thanks Harrison, Harry and Cleo for your company, stories, laughter and tears. These gentleman were wonderful and I have forged some great friendships not to mention the memories. This program is truly a wonder, Rotary cannot place a price on what the day brings to these men and women who served their country 60 years ago.
We all then had a day of rest on Sunday - after rising at 4:30am and getting to bed after midnight, it was needed! I spent the morning at Pinehurst with my wonderful hosts Evelyn and Jerry. I walked the hallowed halls of the Pinehurst Golf Club, when I saw the beautiful flat, level greens, I felt an overwhelming desire to hop on a horse and have a hit with a polo mallet (ha ha). Even if you don't play golf, you can really appreciate the facilities and grounds.
The afternoon was relaxing and we had a wonderful evening with family and friends. You quickly relax into your new 'home' with your new 'family'.
I have said it before and I will say it again.... During this experience, I have said to myself 'I don't know what I did to deserve this, but I am thankful for the opportunity and experience'.

Jo, you deserve it because you are a good person who is always thinking of others before yourself; just look at what you did for Harrison...enough said. We love you and miss you and I can not wait to go back over there with you next year....loving you always Jeff.
