Visited a Smithie

Reunited with Niki Lee after almost 2 years. I couldn't have asked for more - this trip was a huge success. Read the comments of the folks below and you will get a glimpse into what I mean. Once again it rang true - "Once a Smithie, Always a Smithie..." For an entire week 12 current residents of Smith Hall got to experience first hand the power of that simple phrase. For a week 12 current residents of Smith Hall were kings and queens of a small tropical island thanks to someone who came before them in Smith Hall. For a lifetime 12 current residents will always have a family and a place in Trinidad.
This trip was about experiencing a new culture and doing some service - but more importantly it was to experience the power of a "sense of place" that extends well beyond Smith Hall and Durham, NH.
Plans are already starting to form for the next "Visit".
I hope that folks continue to post to this blog whether it's a trip across the world or across the hall.
If any current or former smithies would like access to this blog to be able to post just shoot me an email and I'm happy to add you. The more smithies the better.
