Hayley and Richard
We were dropped off at Scott and Marty Copeland’s place in Derry and the cold beer that was waiting for us made up for all the stress of the last 5 days! We had a great chat with Scott and Marty and made it to bed in the early hours, or about 6am body clock time!
The day started with a wonderful cooked breakfast (for Richard) kindly prepared by Scott followed by coffee on the balcony. It was a beautiful morning – warm, sunny and fresh. Hayley went off for her vocational visit after breakfast and Richard spent an hour chatting to Marty on the balcony while Scott went to work downstairs in their orthodontic surgery. Marty showed Richard around the surgery and told him about some of the challenges and joys they face in their business.
Abi and Charlotte
On our first night Abi and Charlotte stayed with Bill (Woody) and Jackie Wood. Bill is the President of Derry Rotary. Having arrived late in the evening, there was just time for a quick chat and then bed. We left early the next day, but luckily we will be able to see them again at the conference. Thank you to Bill and Jackie for hosting us - sorry we couldn't stay longer!
Ruth
We were warmly greeted with a welcome banner with our group photo on, and a great welcome committee. After hearty introductions we all went to a Mexican Restaurant (Off the Border) then home with our hosts. I stayed with Peter and Noeleen March in their home in Pepperell, Massachusetts. This morning I met their 5 year old son Chris who picked a bunch of daffodil from the garden for me.
