…leaving a couple of Americans nearly in tears, and certainly red in the face with emotion.
A couple of folks (1 guy and a gal) are heading back to NY after spending a few weeks here with the Brit team. As per protocol, a small number of folks gethered in a semi-circle in front of the departing ones, and after a small heart-felt speech, the group started clapping. The applause rippled into the rather large room of people, and most everyone clapped with appreciation.
The Americans were as surprised as was I when I first saw this happening, and didn’t know what to say. Thankfully no one in the group asked for a speech from them because I don’t think they could have stammered out anything that would have made any sense.
