Our benefactors, and the supporters of this program, hosted a dinner last night where I was finally able to meet those responsible for this remarkable enterprise. Geda Condit is Jordanian, married to Phil Condit, a Boeing executive and engineer, turned visionary. Every successful person will remark on at least one teacher who was pivotal in their lives, he told me. Needless to say, he captured my heart with that comment! Their home is a combination of sweeping gardens, waterfalls, ponds, and open, airy rooms. We dined on halal prepared bar-be-que, salads, and baklava, all served in the warm evening air with the scent of roses and hum of conversation all around. I felt so incredibly grateful to be included in this remarkable group and excited to dive in to the days ahead. I know we'll be busy, but I hope to have time to reflect as well. Moments like these come once in a life time. I will treasure them always.
