Posted by: Dan Maas6/4/2008

As we drove to the airport, we asked Gavin what he thought of our students.  His said and I quote:

 

Gavin: In these students, I see something I've never seen in Chinese students: Independence.

What follows is what our group had to say about Gavin...

Gavin always watching over us. How Gavin helped the other guides understand what we wanted. Amazed how he could find 23 people in the crowd.

Made sure we were safe, healthy and thanks for the conversations.

Made a call for eveach change. Shared the picture of his son with such pride. Saving trip to America. I think of Gavin, I think of family.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Jase on 6/4/2008
Willingness to give and to receive. Very kind person.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Lara on 6/4/2008
Always the last one to make sure we were safe. Waited outside bathrooms. I knew he was looking out for all of us.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Lisa B on 6/4/2008
He's is going to be an awesome father. He is curious and willing to learn. He latched on to everything we said.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Dan Maas on 6/4/2008
It is hard to sum a people up in just a few words, but you did it. You summed our kids up with the word “independence.” That's right on. It is the duty of every father to take the best and give it to his son and try to limit the worst in himself. You do that so well... that is why I see you as a man of honor, a great father and a friend for life.

Lots of knowledge of the history of all the cities. When we were in Beijing with the insects. I dropped a 5 inside the vendor cart. The vendor just laughed at me, but Gavin go it out with chopsticks which was really cool of him.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Paul on 6/4/2008
Well done keeping track of us. He was never too forceful with us. He enjoyed with us which was comfortable for us.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Lois on 6/4/2008
Thanks. You made this trip special. As we go back, we'll lose some of the memories. But we will remember you and we will think of you when we think of China. We appreciated your patience and your hard work. And I loved the dancing in Xi'an.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Matt S on 6/4/2008
On the first day, he would be our babysitter and body guard. I thought this was cheesey and yet it was exactly what he did. He was always there and I always felt safe. I appreciated helping my mom and Dad get some Mongolian food.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Josh on 6/4/2008
A beautiful thing about Gavin is his ability to sing. He's a good singer and he has the ability to do that without being nervous.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Rachel on 6/4/2008
I love your patience. You never got angry and always showed us where the bathroom was. You were always the last one. You showed us how much you can love by loving us. I think your son is lucky to have you as a dad.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Andy on 6/4/2008
My best memory is when we walked with you and you kept us from getting lost. You are great at your job and you will make a great father.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Matt W on 6/4/2008
I too think you will be a great dad because of your knowledge and you are also fun to be with.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Micayla on 6/4/2008
I value your kindness and your patience. You let us be flxible. My fondest memory was when you got us to sing on the bus when many of us were timid. You are awesome.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Gabe on 6/4/2008
Without you, we would have been lost. I'm so glad you were with us. You translated for me. When we rode on the bikes, you waited for me to fix my bike and I felt safe. When you bring your son to America, he can chill with me.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Daniel S on 6/4/2008
When I saw your backpack worn on your chest, I thought it was weird. But I've learned why to do that and now I really like that.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Zach on 6/4/2008
I like the way you can just hang out with us and share our personal views with us.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Jennifer on 6/4/2008
Gavin is really cool. He cared for us with little red flag and always had a smile when we came out of the bathroom.... every time.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Jake on 6/4/2008
When we played chess, you are a very fast learner. It was great that you learned so fast and you beat me.

Re: Thanks Gavin   By Phil on 6/4/2008
My memories include when we got lost in Forbidden City meant a lot when you found us. And when you played with the kids in the orphanage, I saw the beautiful, human side of you. I will always remember you as the light of the end of the tunnel for us
