Nice Way To End Seoul Visit

It was a pleasure to have lunch with the family of Tony Kwon '16 this afternoon.  Tony's brother-in-law, Steven, served as our translator.  Tony's mother asked many motherly questions of concern for her son who is so far away from home.  Questions that relate to dorm life and roommates, preparation for college, and many others.  I assured them of our obligation to make sure all our students are properly prepared for a successful Brewster experience and seamless entry into college.

Front Row, L to R: Jimmy Lee's mother, Hyun Joo Kang; Jason Han's mother, MiKyung Choi,  Jim Bastis, Shin Park's mother, In Young Choi; Second Row, L to R: Eric Heo's mother, Jin Hwa Han; Jason Han's brother, James Han; Jason's father, WonDon Han; Shin Park's father, Kyung Ho Park; and Tony Kwon's mother, Sang Rye Lee.

The evening was the time for meeting and dining with other members of the KPA (Korean Parent Association).  We all came together in the Grill Room at the JW Marriott.  I need to thank Jason Han's mother for serving as this year's president of the KPA and also to Jason's father for all his help with the logistics of the evening.  We discussed a number of topics ranging from the food in the cafeteria to what Asian food I like the most.  Guess what?  I'm not going to answer that question.
