Travel
Joe has recently added travel director to his list of many accomplishments. His first trip left for Austria, Germany, Italy and Hungary just 10 days after September 11, 2001. Despite all the fear and sadness, the trip proved to be fantastic and left the travelers asking for more. The constant threat of war and disharmony caused a trip in 2003 to be cancelled, but was rescheduled for 2004. Ask any of the travelers and they will tell you that the trip to Austria, Germany, Lichtenstein and Switzerland was well worth the wait. Joe is now working on details of his next trip which will either run in late 2005 or early 2006.
