Welcome home!

We arrived home around 11 pm last night after fog in Dusseldorf delayed our departure by about an hour. Despite valiant efforts (read: sprinting through the terminal) by Mrs. Grace and myself to reach our connection on time, we just missed our plane from Atlanta to Pittsburgh- it was pulling away from the gate as we arrived! So we had a little more time to reflect on our travels and we want to thank EVERYONE for their hospitality - from all the folks at the LVR (Thomas, Ingrid, Burkhardt, Stephanie, Gerhard, Walter, Nina) to our new friends at the schools (Herr Saalfeld, Herr Bugdoll, Frau Mohr, Frau Zini, and our old friend Frau Reiber) to the consulate in Dusseldorf and our dear friends the NewLanders . . .it was a very memorable trip and we look forward to returning the hospitality - beginning at 6:12 pm tonight. I will keep you posted on the days ahead. Tomorrow we spend most of the day at Greensburg Salem High School.

And don't forget - join us at the Museum on Friday at 6:30 for the opening of the Building a Transatlantic Bridge exhibition curated by Mrs. Audia's National Art Honor Society students. It will be a great opportunity to meet our German guests: Stephanine Buchholz, Uwe Bugdoll and Shila Zini.
