Thank You for making Nathan’s wish to meet Lisa Simpson come true. Everything fromthe fancy stretch limo, friendly West Jest crew, and the amazing stay at “Give Kids The World Village” was all that and more, AMAZING! A truly great week.
Nathan was really excited as we watched the Simpson’s bus pull in, then the whole family (minus Maggie) got out to give Nathan hugs and pose for pictures. We actually went back for a second meet and greet! It was fun.
His favorite park of all was Universal’s Islands of Adventure, where he had fun on the “Cat in hte Hat ride” (Suess Landing) and meetng the super heroes. He especially loved meeting Spider Man, and going on “The Amazing Adventures of Spinder Man” ride. He also loved “Big Thunder Mountain” at Magic Kingdom. For someone who dislikes roller coasters, that was something. Anywa, the list goes on and on.
Give Kids the World Village was like a vacaion on its own. What a fabulous place! I’m so glad Nathan had the opportunity to experience it. All in all, it was a fantastic vacation, and we can’t thank you and the people at Treasure Life enough for making it happen. Nathan’s being shy about saying his two words, but trust me when I say, he really appreciates it!
Again, thank you Make A Wish, and Treasure Life for a lot of great memories. We love you all!
Linda, Perry, and Nathan

I went into labour with Kat about 3 a.m. on September 9, 1992, just a few short hours after watching "An Evening at the Improv." She was two weeks early and I joked that she was merely curious about what all the laughter was about!
