Joy, I just wanted to tell you how wonderful this Italy trip was. Gaither and I had such a great time. What an enriching experience! And I know that all of the other kids and parents felt the same way. None of this would have been possible without all the hard work that you, Missy, Jim, and Jody put into this. I can't imagine how much time went into all the planning, arranging, double-checking, researching, etc. I just want you to know how much we all appreciate it. Thank you!!! Gaither Bynum
