Greetings,
Another year gone by and we're still in Samoa. Last year at this time, we returned to New Jersey for a good old fashioned Christmas. It was nice to see family and friends again--those we missed--sorry!
Sharon has a new job this year: Coordinator of Instructional Support Services at the Community College of American Samoa. She is about to move into a new resource center on the beautiful, expanding campus of the college. She finds her new job very challenging and the experience she is getting is excellent for the future.
Ken is still at Samoana High and finds that he has almost figured out his Samoan students. He worked most of last summer writing English materials to be used in the school system this year. (No more working in the summer!!)
We sold our sailboat, but purchased an 18 foot powerboat which we've been using for fishing and diving. The fishing here has been fabulous, better than we found in Hawaii. Our freezer runneth over with fish. We also bought two motorcycles which have given us much pleasure--until Ken hit a dog and left the skin of his knees and feet all over the highway.
We had three weeks in Hawaii last summer--much too short, but we're still trying to pay off the Mastercharge bills we incurred at the local shops and restaurants. This coming summer we both have two and a half months off, and we intend to take advantage of it. We may go west to the East (Australia, Indonesia, Singapore) or go east to the West coast of the U.S.
Anyway, we intend to be here in Samoa until June of 1978, and we have an extra room. If you are in need of getting away from it all and would like to sample Polynesia, you know where to find us.
