The last are home!!!

Our last two students arrived. Martin got in tired but arrived on time at P.E. even if one of his other flights was delayed. Hinton arrived in early afternoon and all her flights were on time but she was sick to her stomack for part of her trip so she was a little tired and weak. She had some long waits in a couple of airports here. Norma is giving her a little food to start so she work up to the pizza tonight. We are having it delivered just before our meeting. There is a park acrossed the road from us which if the weather is nice may be where we hold the meeting.

These two postings were just to let parents know that there son/daughter is here and safe. I didn't mention the earlier students who have been here over a week because they would have called or emailed home by now. Later posts will be of more general interests.

Most students are here

We picked up the following students from the planes: Korevec Friday; Roske, Cuddy and Messer Sunday; and Sandberg, Nelson, Hejny, Murphy, Ranallo, Bennett, Gamradt, Franklin, Kirzeder Monday. They were tired and happy to be here and all were on time and in good shape. The last group (Franklin, Kirzeder, Bennett, & Gamradt) got in early due to the help of Alan Sparg, who got them on an earlier flight out of J0'Burg. The group that was driving from Jo'burg to her via Kruger Game park got in Sunday but turned up at the flats yesterday saying that it was an awesome trip. No problems along the way. They are settling in well. We have two more to get in today and we will be all here and ready to go.
