> i have had a difficult time sending these photo to you - i am now sending
them in separate emails...might take a few... there are many good ones!
(when i was in st petersburg, I was so impressed with how beautiful you
were on the inside, i didn't notice what a lovely young woman you were
until i saw the pictures.)

> it was really a pleasure to meet you, i am so thankful to you and your
friends for welcoming my children to your school. it was an amazing
experience for them and you made them feel safe and comfortable - you
cannot imagine how important that was for me.

> when we returned, david and scott and i met with scott's wife who is an
administrator at a school in south florida.  david hopes to develop a
larger young people's project so more american students can visit, as laine
and dylan did, and russian students can come to florida. he is quite
committed to this idea and scott was so impressed with his visit, i know he
will be supportive as well.  i will keep you informed about the project.

> i hope you are well. i would love to hear from you sometime. we will keep
in touch with your teachers and send a video about the trip when it is
done.

> dylan and laine send their love.
