jim, jim, brian, and bill

This is for the guys us students never got to know:

Walking to lunch Saturday, Cameron, Kristina, Amanda and I spotted four men standing by the parking lot, luggage in tow. Cameron said, "Are those guys with us?!" Of course, it only stood to reason they were the last of our team to arrive; Jim, Jim, Brian and Bill. So we approached them in welcome...and I was able to give Jim Rogers a hug, since I knew him from last year. I was introduced by Jim as the "infamous Andrea" and Brian approached Cameron saying, "You must be Cameron. I read your blog, it's been very helpful." The Drs. Schuler were found inside the dining hall and they replaced us with welcoming and getting the men settled as we went to eat.

And then katyushas hit Tiberias. And an emergency meeting was called. And so, we said hello and goodbye to the men we just met.

But...had we stayed, I am convinced we would have had wonderful times together. So this is a tribute at least to the day we met. Well guys, I know you are having a dirty and wonderful time...we all wish we could be there. We'd better still get lots of pictures from you all...and one of you should really start a blog to help keep us in the states updated.
