A Message from Madame H.:

I am SO proud of each and every one of you!!! You all did an amazing job this weekend and exhibited some of the best diplomacy I've ever seen. A very hearty congratulations to the team of Morocco (Kurgan, Ashley and Elizabeth) for bringing the trophy back to WHHHS! Remember, though, this was a team effort by ALL, so this win is a win for everyone! GREAT JOB!!!
