Tucson Almaty Sister Cities Goto 2003 Goto 2004 Goto May 2004 Your in June 2004
During June, we went to Disney's California Adventure Park (The OTHER Disneyland park). While in that area, visited downtown Las Angles, travelled to Hollywood and saw the walk of stars, and ended the day at Universal Studies. Our host that made this part of the adventure possible was the Bogans. Thanks!

Actually, we went to San Diego first where Altay got to practice on a Guitar. He got to visit the Pacific Ocean a second time and took a good swim in it. My brother took us on a tour of San Diego harbor area and saw a cruise ships and an Aircraft Carrier. In the mist of this, Altay also demonstrated how a pipe bender would make a great defensive weapon.

As the time closed for my son of the year to be here, he won his last chess tournament and was given a farewell party by the Chinworth's (Bill & Barbara). Sister Cities Chairman, Jerry Gary and his wife was there. The Mayor of Tucson sent a "Honorary Citizen of Tucson" award to be given to Altay for his help in the "Tucson Gem & Mineral Show" as interpreter for the artisans from Kazakhstan and interpreter for "The Sister Cities Central Asia Friendship Tour Soccer Team".

Covering June just isn't possible. In general, we took in the Gaslight dinner again and ate good. Before the temperature climbed up into the 100's (43c), Altay mowed the yard. Then Altay played with his digital camera, and, studied at his computer for the SAT ... again. Just before leaving, he got his last haircut.

The Amphitheater High School Newspaper wrote an article on Altay and if you click on it, you can read it. Use the 'BACK' button on your browser to return.

Then, the academic year is over, Altay ready to leave, obtained his plane ticket, and waved good-bye.

THEN, I had the problem of driving home with water in my eyes. It was an interesting year, but only upon his leaving, did I realize how much he had become part of my life. He was a very good son! God speed my son.
