Hello Friends! I am writing you from Haw River State Park just north of Greensboro, North Carolina. I decided to put the day and a half of traveling behind me for now and to just enjoy my time here with these wonderful people! (Though add to the previous story one more canceled flight which actually made the trip better). With a long enough stop in Washington DC to buy a magnet and get my picture taken with a stand up of Obama, I arrived safely (with my luggage!!!) in a small airport. I was picked up by a nice man from Quakers United in Publishing who took me to Guilford College where everyone else was waiting for a presentation on archiving past publications. Honestly, only some of it was interesting to me. But I got to meet Angelina and some of the others from the editorial board. I have heard several times, “You’re the one who was stuck in Chicago! We are so glad to have you here.” Guilford is beautiful, I love all the old buildings and the grounds are gorgeous. I got a tour of New Garden Friends Meeting House, over 250 people on First Day! We also got to walk around their large graveyard and it was as pretty as anything else. The tour was really nice. The woman said they have picnics and play frisbee on the graveyard I lawn. I really liked the idea of life in the graveyard. Very fitting. I have A LOT more to tell you all but a man wants to speak with me before I go meet with the others from the editorial board so I have to go. There is a computer here, right now I am using fellow blogger’s, Robin M’s, computer but will use the main one later. I will tell you all of the incredible experiences I’m having then. For now, take you “y’all” (apparently, I’m the one with the accent here) and I’ll talk to you soon! Greetings to Freedom Friends Church from everyone here!
