A New Experience
There were 14 of us that lined up at the airport on Saturday, January 10, 1998. In the picture above, Irvine Osborne is kneeling, (next row, l-r) Scott Landrum, Eddie Campbell, Francis Kimmett, Don Stewart, Paul Gregoire, (back row, l-r) Harold Mosely, Steve Achord, Cecil Camp, Mike Sharp, Randy Driggers, and Jeff Hathorn. John Gibson and I are not pictured.
Irvin said that he enjoyed the desserts the best. The trip took about 30 hours from New Orleans to the Carmel Hotel. I don't think any of us slept much on the airplane. We were worn out. So, after a good meal and some excited conversation we all headed to our rooms. We had a severe thunderstorm all night.
We were all excited about our Monday journey. It was a restless night for several.

We survived the trip from New Orleans to New
York and then to Tel Aviv. When we got to Tel Aviv, we endured a hail storm of
Biblical proportions but we made it to the Carmel Hotel in Netanya and enjoyed making the
above picture with our tour host, (front left) Bennie Ruth Goodman and our experienced
Israeli guide, Gilla Triebich (front center, kneeling). John was in this pictue.
He's on the back row in the center. 
They got me (Clay Corvin) in the mugshots
before we ate supper at the Carmel. The meal was excellent. Their bread and
salads were great. 
The
food was good. They took care to put it in a visually pleasing arrangement and as
you can see Don Stewart is working hard at experiencing it. 
Our rooms were comfortable and the storm
didn't disturb us. Don Stewart enjoyed his stay at the Carmel Hotel.
