Our delegation has been showered with hospitality from the members of the Board of Directors for Main Street Biloxi, the owners of the Bond House, the property on which we have been working. These civic leaders have treated us as though we were the greatest crew of drywall installers in town, even though only EJ Fenner and I have any experience doing this, and this being of the homeowner variety. Our crew of college students with marginal skill has been treated to numerous visitors, usually bearing gifts of food and beverages, but has also included their taking us on a Shrimp Boat Tour and Demonstration, Dinner at the Beau Rivage Casino Buffet, and a gift of a brass Christmas Ornament depicting the Bond House. This type of hospitality and appreciation of our assistance to the Biloxi community has of made the task of motivating the student participants in the trip extremely easy.
Earlier today, I received an email from Steve Richer, Executive Director, Mississippi Gulf Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau:
Mr. Rasch: Thank you so much for your help. We are very proud of our volunteer visitors. Please send my thanks to all the students, too.
