Penny was one of the many of my China helpers and friends. Penny’s position was rather unique in that she was a student at ZUFE but NOT one of my English Major students. I met her at a Hangzhou West Lake English corner and after that meeting we frequently met at the bus station early Sunday mornings for the hour long bus ride and the 20 minute walk to West Lake. She frequently helped me travel, shop and order food. During those 2 years we got to be rather good friends. Last year I was really excited to hear that she got a full tuition scholarship and visa to attend Abilene Christian University in Abilene Texas. Now it is time for me to repay favors…
