Journey to Geneva







Thursday, August 28 John and his parents got into the car and headed to Geneva, New York. The rolling hills and farmland of upstate New York brought back many memories, and it was a relatively pleasant drive. We went right to Penn Yan, where we got a room at the Vineyard Inn. Cousin Susan and Elliott drove over to lead us to a restaurant where we enjoyed good conversation and caught up some of the activities of the Williams clan.
The next day we drove to Geneva, found the campus and got in line to shake the Dean's hand and eventually obtained John's key to his dorm room. Along the way various student volunteers would come over and answer any questions we had. John signed the Book and we went on to his dorm, Hale Hall.
John had a very busy schedule Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which included some community service, also pictured above. Monday classes began! So he is going to be very busy, with school, studying, work, and service. We are very proud of him and know he will do well.
