1999 Participants

 

A group photo at the University of Havana: all the students, Professor Super, Luis (our Havana organizer), and the Historian of the University. The only ones missing are Dashiell (our translator) and me. Click on the picture for a larger version with everyone's name. Get larger versions of the pictures below by clicking on them, too.

Me (Bill Trumbull). This isn't Cuba. Since I was the one taking all these pictures, I don't have any of me there. So this will have to do.   Camilo Moreno, an econ major from Columbia. It was great having a Spanish speaker in the group to help whenever there was a language barrier.
     

 

Stephanie Dooley, lost in a sugarcane field. Don't worry, she made it out OK.   Dan Poling knows a good 'gar when he smells one.
     

 

Joe Super, Professor of History, enjoying a Romeo y Julieta in El Floridita, Hemingway's favorite Havana bar. Hemingway is in the picture in the background conferring with Fidel.   Bridget Evans, who almost didn't get into Cuba because she couldn't decide what her name was. That's Betsy Goosman in the background.
     

 

Evan Fedorko (left) and Dan Poling smoking Cuban cigars and drinking Cuban rum. When in Cuba, do as the Cubans do.   Kristy Wood and Peter Freedman playing chess on our bus. How's that for a balancing act?
     

 

Heather Furbon cooling out at the beach.

  Jeff Stock, Evan Fedorko, Betsy Goosman, and Bridget Evans waiting ever so patiently in one of many airports. Did I mention how much fun it is getting to Cuba and back?
     

 

Evan at the beach getting his first real look at Cuban girls.   Luis, our organizer. He's a business student at the University of Havana. We really had him sweating accomodating all our needs, but he pulled it off very, very smoothly.
     

 

Dash, our translator and a foreign language major at the U of H. Both he and Luis hit it off with our students right away, which added an unexpected dimension to the course.  

Peter Freedman playing catch on the beach.

     

 

  Kelly Postlethwait and Keri Cowen discovering the joys of sugarcane.  

Aaron Hawley, the only non-WVU student. A Morgantown boy, he's at the University of Maryland.

     

 

 

 

  Justin Halladay looking pensive. I got this from the Web page of Bridget Evans, Tom Murphy, and Betsy Goosman.
