A BIG PROJECT INVOLVES OVERSEEING A LOT OF MOVING PARTS, OFTENTIMES FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Carlos and I agreed that the best way to start our job shadowing report is with a big "thank you" to Nikos' family: Ana, Eugene and Zoe Karanasios. They made us feel special, not just for hosting us at their home, but for all of the details that made us feel part of their family. Thanks for your kindness, cordiality and hospitality.
