[Gathnet] Dad and Bishop MPango here

[Jonathan Gathman]

Hello all,
  Dad and his dear friend Bishop MPango (retired) from Tanzania are here after their 2 day train ride from San Diego.  I must say that I don't think they quite realized how tiring it would be, because they were both well beyond tired, well beyond exhausted.  Dad said he hadn't really slept in two days.  I guess the seats, while fine for sitting, didn't allow him to elevate his feet.  I'm thinking after that,

  They were so tired, we postponed his meeting with Pastor Jared, I set them up in their rooms in the hotel, told them to call if they wanted anything, i.e. dinner.  I think they've probably fallen asleep and will remain so until morning.

  Tomorrow, I'm not sure what they have up their sleeves during the day, but we'll have a musical soiree put on by my students in the Chamber group (Plus Jacqui and myself).  We'll have the student's families our wonderful neighbors, etc over too, which should be fun.

  In the meantime, packing, and listing, etc so we'll be ready to visit the VA Gathmans and Ecklebarger's 50th!
