Coming Home to "True Hospitality" at Hubei University!

Today I will let the photos below do the majority of the talking for the blog.  Why?  Honestly, I'm old - and tired... :-)  But also because it's very hard to put into words how grateful I am to our friends at Hubei University for the incredible day they provided for our students.  In the near future we will embark upon a River Cruise and the tempo of this ensemble will s l o w   d o w n just a bit...during that time, I'll be asking others what today meant to them and will post their comments when I am able to do so.  You'll want to return to the blog as I know you'll read some pretty wonderful things.  Thanks for your patience.

Following our welcome ceremony, students from China and USA met to share ideas and get to know each other better,







Prof Li organized our first visit 15 years ago and though retired, came back towelcome us "home."

We are serious noodle makers now!  Even have graduation certificates!



President Gang accepted Dr. Unger's invitation to conduct the AU Band.  He led the group in "Spring Festival" and, according to him, "A dream has come true!"  Very, very special.

Conductors of the AU Band!
