Weather was beautiful today for the celebration. Beautiful tents were put up on top of the tell for program speakers and reception table with lots of fruit, sweets, and coffee/Beduoin tea. Heard several dignataries speak of the history of the work on Tell Hesban by Andrews University, Department of Antiquities director, etc. and royalty. Prince Raad spoke – he is the son of the former King Hussein of Jordan, and brother of the current King Abdullah who could not come. Since I knew Dr. Larry Geraty, co-founder of the site in l968, he introduced Milton and me to the Prince and we had our picture taken with him! Great fun. Milton had a slight fever last night – better now but sleeping this afternoon while I help register artifacts with the archaeologists. Sunday we will tour several desert castles of Lawrence of Arabia fame, and board Royal Jordanian on Monday. See you soon. We love you all!
