LEDGER READERS ON THE ROAD
     Hi y'all. I had to take a break on my way up the Great Wall, and what a long break it was...whew. I was in Beijing from Sept. 2 through the 22nd. The first two weeks I was a referee for the Paralympic Game of Goalball which is for visually impaired athletes. The last week I spent seeing the sites and enjoyed living with a Chinese family who own a hutong (bed and breakfast) and learning much about Beijing and the Chinese culture. I was happy to get back to the U.S. to my home in Myrtle Beach and of course back to Gaffney to see my family. -- Dianne Harrington Sartor
