These are for our friends at GRAM English School.  John and I are very fortunate to have been a part of the GRAM team this year.  We’ve had some great times.  We’ve shared a lot of laughs and we have some great memories. 

A heartfelt thanks to Carol and Gavin, who took us in and helped us in every way since our arrival in Taiwan.  We are so grateful for your patience and kindness.  Thank-you for including us on your family outings and adventures.

Thank you to all the teachers who have helped us along the way.  Catherine, Josephine, Queenie, Eileen, Sandy and Connie, in particular, have always made themselves available whenever we had questions and concerns.  Thanks to the foreign staff, Scott and David, who encouraged us and worked alongside us through the year.  And to all the other teachers and staff at GRAM who touched our lives and always had a kind word and advice, we are better teachers because of you.

Carol and her daughter, Jeannie.

Queenie and Jerry are very good friends.  We’ve spent a lot of time with them this year.  They whisked us away on weekends and introduced us to new places, faces and Taiwanese treats!

Teacher David is a valued co-worker and a wonderful friend.  We joined David and his girlfriend, Catherine, on a date last week and we’re looking forward to more with them when we return.

Claire and her beautiful family.  Claire is a vibrant, caring teacher with a heart of gold. 

Thanks for a wonderful year.
