I remember when my son, Vincent, was in first grade, Sister Maria from St. John's elementary school called me and communicated that my son was speaking a foreign language. I explained to her in my broken english that I taught my son Italian and that it was her job to teach him english!

Hi Vince!! Just wanted to give you an update on Zack's trip to Serbia and the World University Games. He won a team gold medal and had a blast. He was able to see some of the other sports and sight see a little bit. His college did 6 articles on this event and Zack so here's how to get to them: go to pct.edu then click on current students and under the first column select PCT today. The dates of the articles are July 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 15. 
You will need to click on the article title to view the whole entry. I have also attached a few photos for you. He wore both of his sunglasses but the new Serengetti's the most, and he was pleased with them. I will email you an updated resume as soon as i get it done. If you have any questions or need anything else, please let us know. Thanks again for the support and help you give to Zack. Dale and I truly appreciate it. Joanne
