As part of the summer session of library courses, Terry and Patrick hosted a dinner on July 4, 2007. Even after a full day of classes, the students were still smiling. Dr. Chien was an honored guest. The students presented Patrick and Terry with champagne to toast the 4th, and it was used for a well-deserved toast to Pat Oyler. Patrick and Terry, with much-needed help from Huyen and Hung, selected the menu, which included a salad made with banana leaves, baked fish served with rice papers (so that each of us could make rolls ? lessons were given), and Vietnamese hot pot. Everyone at the table helped in the cooking of this traditional dish. Terry?s wife Sydney, who was taking pictures, was presented with flowers as part of an evening of good food, conversation, and friendship.
