Description
Summary:In July 1969 we left on a one year sabbatical trip to Europe. We were to visit 23 different countries and travel over 31,000 miles. It was a trip that took us within 200 miles of the Arctic Circle, south to Spain and Portugal, and east to Greece and Turkey. My wife, Mary, and Joanne and John, our children who were nine and seven at the time, accom panied me. We made our home for the year in a 16 foot English caravan (travel trailer) which traveled everywhere behind our car. Through the cooperation of the National Association of Secondary School Principals I set up a program of school visits in Belgium, England, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, and Yugoslavia.
