Good luck, please find a way to post this on an alumni social network site.  I would've loved for an opportunity like this at that age.  I agree with Ms. Carle, travel does broaden horizons and creates unimaginable benefits on perspective.  NYC  and DC are amazing places that need to be experienced to fully appreciate.  Lessons learned by visiting these cities will last a lifetime.  I will contribute and I urge anyone who can to do the same.  Thank you Ms. Carle- E. Florendo MJH class of 1980.
