Dear Helen,

On behalf of the Craig family, I want to thank you for guiding us on our recent most enjoyable holiday through Wales, England and Scotland. We could never have made it without your invaluable assistance.

There were many highlights each day, but perhaps the most memorable for us was the very intimate tour of the grounds of the Bishop's Palace at St. David’s Cathedral in Wales. What a thrill! Other tourists were aghast and stood aside in awe as we drove through the river and worked our way up the hill and over the paths and out through the old arched gate. Surely you must have the exclusive right for such a treat for we noticed that no other group seemed to be enjoying the same privilege. It certainly was a never-to-be-forgotten experience.

Not to be critical, but I believe that the few glitchs with our communications were caused by our unaccustomed understanding of your accent, i. e. fthust (first) and pthuud (third), occasionally in directing us at the round-abouts. However, not to worry, we were introduced to some very scenic trails and personal/private views that we otherwise would have missed.

With all due respect to you, we are awarding a Merit of Honor citation to our lead driver, Dr. A. J. Foyt Craig for her remarkable performance in interpreting and executing your every word of advice, and to her co-associate, Ms. Katherine Craig, who was equally outstanding in keeping our two-car caravan together, sailing so smoothly through the beautiful countryside and cities.

Again, thanks for all you did to make our trip so successful.

Sincerely yours,

The Craig Family
