 I guess the most interesting part of being in the Philippines and being a part of Erie was meeting the people. The people that were from all over the world from different countries. It made it a very enrich enriching experience. All the different cultures coming together and I think that's what I enjoyed most about being at Erie. Being the wife of a busy director general we women found things to do when the men were busy being there doing what they did. It was fun to get together and have potlucks and the food from all the different countries. It was I've never had a potluck like that any play any other place but at Erie all the different foods from the different countries and cultures and playing bridge with everybody and the book club. I enjoyed the book club that we had very much. I loved to read but I wrote read mostly American authors and some of the ladies from other countries introduced me to other authors from other countries and it really made me learn or I learned more and helped me understand more about other countries and in their way of life and it was a wonderful adventure. One that I wouldn't take for you know it was just an amazing period in my life to be able to experience being in another like in another world and I think it made me appreciate things more things that I had taken for granted. I learned to appreciate them more. Also my family that was the hard part of being in the Philippines and being at Erie was being away from from my family my parents and my children for those those many years. However the first year we were in the Philippines I think I came back to the U.S. six times and for one reason or another and I was saying talking to my daughter on one of my visits later at the end of the year and I said Jennifer I'm really sorry that I live so far away and I don't get to see you so often. She said mom I've seen you more this year than I saw you the whole time you were in Iowa and that was true and I did I came back to visit children more than once a year and and also we our children visited us in the Philippines and that was they enjoyed that very much getting to see where we lived and how we lived and getting to meet some of the people that we had grown very fond of the time that we were there in Erie.
