Mr. Bill planned for a life-long dream of visiting Nashville, TN, and in June of this year his dream became a reality. At seventy years of age, Mr. Bill decided that he could save a little money each month, and be able to afford a Nashville vacation. Mr. Bill, and a dedicated Caroline Center employee left for Nashville on August 3, 2003. Mr. Bill started his trip with his very first flight. Upon landing in TN, the pilot and co-pilot made Mr. Bill feel welcomed by announcing his name as a first-time-flyer and shaking his hand as he exited the plane. While in Nashville, the tour of the Grand Ole Opry was especially memorable, as Mr. Bill was able to go on the stage and get a close look at many of the instruments. He also enjoyed a tour of the Country Music Hall of Fame and the The Hermitage Wax Museum. The six-day trip was filled with sight-seeing activities, and the creation of a life-time of memories.
