What makes the kites special in Afghanistan is that they are often made from scratch using small, flexible twigs and plastic bags.

For the past 27 years Maumee Valley has been my home away from home. I am forever grateful for the opportunity it provided me and my family. Thanks to all the students who suffered through my algebra classes listening to my lame jokes and awful singing of “Algebra Man,” and my insistence that they always show their work. Thanks to all the parents who believed in the work we do here and supported us in providing our students with the best educational experience we could imagine. Thanks to the faculty and staff for embracing all that is progressive and exciting about MV2020 while also ensuring that the essential qualities of an MVCDS education endure. Thanks to my administrative team, and especially to my administrative assistants Kay, Sarah, and Deb, for keeping me grounded, organized, and on-track. Squirrel! Thanks to all my Board Presidents: Scott Parry, Fritz Byers, Hilary White, Fred Deichert, Dave Francisco, Jeff Helmick, and Matt Buchanan for your insight, wisdom, and forbearance as I learned to do this job. Thanks to all the incredibly generous, gracious, and compassionate philanthropists without whom Maumee Valley would not exist as we know it. I feel privileged to have known you and to have worked alongside you. You know who you are. With great affection and wishes for an even greater future, Gary, Bonnie, Tyler ’01, Emily ’05 52

416 DEERING GOODTIME TWO 5-STRING BANJO WITH RESONATOR Greg Deering designed the Goodtime banjos because there were no reasonably priced banjos of enough quality for people to actually learn on without difficulty or giving up. The Goodtime Two weighs 6 lbs - about the weight of a guitar. The Goodtime Two has a natural blonde maple with a satin finish to protect it. The rich, golden tone and the reverberation off the resonator sound great. You can definitely tell a volume difference between open back and a Goodtime Two. The sound waves arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting trapped between you and the banjo, which makes a pretty big difference. If you want a great bluegrass banjo for travel and leisure that plays correctly and is durable, this is the best buy on the market! Donated by: John and Sally Russ 57
