International Gannon University

Last week Wednesday, Kim and I went to the alumni luncheon at Gannon University.  This year's theme was, "It's a small world:  International Gannon."

The luncheon included foods from China, Saudi Arabia, and India.  The food was good, especially the vegetables on the India table.  After lunch, we enjoyed the program which included five or six international students who spoke about their experiences and adventures at Gannon.  The students were from Pakistan, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, China and India.  I came away very impressed.  These students are very intelligent and articulate, and seemed to have a good attitude about living and studying so far from home.  I enjoyed the luncheon very much.

After lunch, Kim and I walked to the parking ramp where we were both parked.  For about an hour we sat and talked on the top level of the ramp, enjoying the company and the sunshine.  When we were ready to go, we discovered Kim's car battery was dead.  I pulled my car close to hers while Kim searched her trunk for jumper cables.  We connected the cables, and twenty minutes later we were both on our way.  A little thing like a dead battery can't stop two intrepid and resourceful women like us.
