Stephanie had hoped that like last year Vincent could come to talk with her after-school Culture Club when they dealt with Denmark. With Vincent unavailable, Stephanie tried to of Vincent's friends who had gone to Denmark. Nathan is the son of friends of ours, a current Brown School senior, whose family had (like us) twice hosted Danish exchange students. I picked Nathan up from his mother's school and he came with about a dozen pictures from his time there last summer (same summer Vincent was there, I believe). With a majority of time devoted to questions and answers, Nathan - who, thanks to me, was late - talked for about 30 minutes. Stephanie had hoped to show a Denmark video and also have the students make Viking helmets. But the video had yet to arrive and few students had brought in the plastic gallon milk containers to make the helmets. So they talked with Nathan and colored Viking sheets afterwards. Perhaps the video (which now has arrived) and helmets next Monday.
