Przemek

During the 1995/1996 school year, Gary and I hosted a foreign exchange student. This was kind of a last minute decision, but it was definitely the right thing to do, because within a few weeks of our decision I drove over to the bus station in Show Low to meet a young man, from Poland, named Przemek Baszynski, who quickly became a member of our family. Przemek attended the local high school, played soccer on the school team, visited Las Vegas, Phoenix, and the Grand Canyon, was asked to the Sadie Hawkin's dance, attended a Suns' basketball game, learned to drive and obtained his driver's license, participated in the senior class trip to Disney Land and Magic Mountain, graduated with the class of 1996, and before returning home, visited some friends in Boston.

Since returning to Poland he has graduated college, married a beautiful bride, has an adorable daughter, and started his own successful business.



Przemek will turn 30 on the last day of September... Happy birthday, Przemek!!!

Robin, I peeked in on your blog and you sound like you are doing well, albeit a few headaches at school. But I think Marke hit it on the head with the whole teachers get ripped off! You need to come visit us in Eagar. We miss you!
