Hi All,

This is Jim. First of all I would like to thank all of my host families. We moved on again last night and I have another fantastic family. From Barry and Karen, Bill and Margret, Ian and Midge to now Diane and Dave. Everyone has been fantastic. Rotary and Rotary International has been amazing as well.

Today was our third service day. I had two great experiences. I went to a quarry where 75 percent of the granite was supplied to Aberdeen. They are proposing a Heriatage center to honor all of the people that have worked at the quarry. I saw a presentation and when completed will be a great tribute to the me that worked in the quarry. The quarry is 1200 feet long by 600 feet wide by 400 feet deep and granite production began in 1740.

Next I went to the construction of the Aberdeen Olympic Pool Center. While most would think this does not tie into Dams, the construction of the pools is very similar to how spillways are completed. I will be able to bring back some tecnical guidance developed here and definately share this with local contractors and engineers we deal with.

Another amazing day with our Team and look forward to meeting the fine folks at Aberdeen Deeside tonight and give our presentation. And as they say here have a couple of cups of lemonade.

Jim
