“Halfway down the Grand Canyon. It is just so wondrous that a river could have carved a canyon that large out of solid rock. It is a geographical marvel. As Arizona is a long, long way from North Carolina, we’d be sure to pack a lot of doughnuts.”

“I would love to put together a program sheltered beneath the outstretched arms of El Cristo Redentor, the huge statue of Jesus that towers over Rio de Janeiro. The statue would bless my program and make it successful.”

“I would love to host a meeting in the shadow of Mont-Saint-Michel, the castle that sits on an island off the coast of Normandy, France, if for no better reason than the beauty of the sea and the surrounding countryside.”
