Saudi Aramco Expatriate Schools (SAES) where I both went to school and now work recently celebrated its 75th anniversary. It was an amazing day reflecting on the long history of the school system, the people it has impacted and continues to impact as well as its exciting potential in the future.

Kai working as an usher at the 75th. His job was to remind people to watch their step going into the lunch tent.

Having a heart to heart with Kai to talk him into both wearing a tie AND brushing his hair for his job as an usher at the 75th
This photo was used during the SAES 75th celebration. This is part of a fractal project from my Geometry class in 2001 in Udhailiyah
Kai was recently home for Spring break. It all passed so quickly and he is now back in school in New Hampshire but here are a few pictures from his visit.

Unwinding
Kai's needs are simple. Internet, food and shelter. Probably in that order.
