Jolie Geluk (IB Coordinator and Biology teacher) - “I used to live in London for eight years. One year while I lived there, my friends asked me about Thanksgiving and what it was (they don’t celebrate it in the UK). All my friends were members of the rowing club and they were all fascinated by pumpkin pie and pecan pie. I offered to make them the pies and soon after, word spread that an American was going to make a pumpkin and pecan pie. The conversation then moved to traditional Thanksgiving food and I offered to make that too. I ended up making a whole Thanksgiving feast for two hundred people (others pitched in to help too), and it’s become a tradition in the rowing club that whoever is an American in the rowing club is asked to pitch in with making a Thanksgiving feast.”
