Hey Ben
Wow! Sounds like you had an awesome time! You certainly have that can do
attitude ... graduating from LCB really gives it to you!
I hope others on this list join in this great experience.

> end. This was certainly another highlight. I recommend this event to any
> high school student who does not yet have any plans for this summer. I
