Greetings from London, England, Day 7
Thanks to our new friend, Dr. Jane Lewis, from Cisco Systems Ltd., Ron and I had a very enjoyable “banquet” lunch at the Restaurant Servicing Contest. Jane was very kind and gave us her tickets so we could join six others for a very memorable meal. Our server was a very pleasant young woman from New Zealand.
We spent the entire day at the competition site from just after 9:00 a.m. and we just got back to our hotel a few minutes ago at 7:30 p.m. Today I saw something I never imagined seeing at a skills competition; for the “Have a go” exhibit for refrigeration, students were given the instructions to make a key chain and when they were finished they used their key chain for entry into a small ice rink!
I will be bringing home lots of ideas for our summer camp program and possibly the elementary workshops at this year’s OTSC.
It was nice to see Mary Wilson from WSIB at the Competition in England. Mary arrived on Monday and left for home today. Yesterday I saw Shaun Thorson, Carole Anne Ryan from Newfoundland, Claude Borque from Quebec, and Mark Bramer, the Canadian Expert in Cabinetmaking. Jonathan Sinke, Cabinetmaking Competitor, was with Mark. Johnathan’s family had a fundraiser for Jon in August of this year and Jon auctioned off two of his test projects for the London competition. I was delighted to learn that the table I purchased is the project that they are making here in London. It will always be a highlight of my London experience.
I stopped by the Mobile Robotic contest to speak briefly to Adrian Schut. Adrian is to be commended; his co-competitor, Benjamin Church, took sick with the stomach flu in the middle of the night and was unable to participate so Adrian competed alone today. They were sharing a hotel room but Adrian has been moved to a separate hotel room in the hopes that he won’t catch the bug that Ben has. Please keep them in your thoughts. I will be back at the competition site tomorrow morning and will report back again tomorrow night.
Good night for now,
Executive Director
