A few weeks ago Guy and Nancy Hargrove had a bunch of Fulbrighters over to their lovely apartment on Josephstaedter Strasse. It is this wonderful Altbau (old build) very close to the Josephstaedter Theater. It's huge and has all this great old furniture - probably family heirlooms - they are so lucky! Guy is a singer and is a retired professor from Mississippi State U and Nancy is here as the distinguished chair of the English department on her FIFTH Fulbright! She is an amazing teacher and they have flocked to her classes here. She and Guy met 40 years ago in Paris where they were both on Fulbright grants! They were two of the first Fulbright students ever. Guy and Nancy have become kind of the "band parents" of the Fulbright "kids."

Guy cooked spaghetti and afterwards we watched a movie that Danny brought. But the problem was that they had no DVD player, so I brought my portable one. So, I have become the techie on the trip (scary, I know...) and I set out to hook up the DVD player to their big, European TV. Not as simple as you would think. There was not a place for the RCA cables to go, so we tried hooking it up through the sound system. Finally, Danny and I figured it out together. We watched the movie, "School of Rock" with Jack Black, which was very funny, and then we left. Here are pictures from the dinner that night. Of course we messed up Guy and Nancy's sound system and Danny had to go back and fix it the next day (which was no easy task - thanks Danny!). I have also become the computer techie (OK, by me!) and here is a picture of me helping Guy attach pictures to emails.
