All the kids went to the park for the morning with their counselors. Then we had the closing ceremony. Jazzy and I went out to lunch at a Mexican Cantina and searched for places to stay next year. Strangely enough, the KOA campground cabins look pretty good...fairly close to the Conference and about the same price as the tiny (I am told) Holiday Inn rooms. Good thing they didn't have much planned outside because it has been pouring down sheets of rain all day.
This morning we had breakfast with Mary Tran, as well as her husband and her son Richie. She grew up in Saigon, went to a French school and became a classical pianist. Her family was fairly wealthy... I am guessing, but had to get out of Saigon when the Communists invaded. She came over on a boat in 1975 and has lived in Denver ever since. She is now an interpreter and financial planner. She met her husband Hieu Vo after moving to Denver. He was a pilot for the American army in the Vietnam War. Such an extremely friendly family who took a liking to Jazzy.
