China Teachers 2010-2011



Teeny picture, giants of men and women..


there's Dale, who with his wife, Joan built a private school....and I mean literally built it. It's thriving today after years of their personal hard work and sacrifice.


There's Jamie whose father taught in China for five years, so Jamie and his wife left their beautiful home in Homer, Alaska to follow in the footsteps of his father.


There's Doc Bullock, a former oncologist. He is so happy to be doing this with his wife, Nancy. He feels a sense of relief and peace that he hasn't felt for many years as he worked every day with patients whose end was near...he's energized to do this.


There's Gladys, Ruth Ann, Karen, Meridene; all single women going on their own for the big adventure.


Or how about David; the former lietenant governor and congressman from Utah. He's a big man with giant shoes and giant heart, and he's eager to get going, along with his fun wife, Julie.


Don't foget Katy, who has hiked across England twice!


Or Sue and David, who lived in Saudi Arabia for 19 years...they are beautiful, classy, elegant. The Chinese will love them both.


There's Rainer and his wife Trix. Rainer LOVES techno stuff; he spent $200 on a pen that records the lectures, then prints them out. Glad he'll be in the same city where we are even though we will be on different ends of the city.


Oh, so many people who know so many languages who have had so many experiences who have led remarkable lives.


China, here they all come! Lucky you, and lucky them.
