The scene is set in the 1930’s in the Gilbreth household consisting of twelve children and a house- keeper. The plot includes a strict father and an understanding mother in their quest to raise their dozen as healthy, normal chil- dren, despite generation, communication and social gaps between parents, children, and friends.

I live in Managua, Nica- ragua. Central America. My father is an electrical engineer and my mother owns a beauty shop. I have a 14-year old brother and many friends. I came November 31 and stayed three months with the Richard Moffett fam- ily, with whom I had many memorable times. During my stay in the United States I learned many things from American students and American customs. Besides learning the English language. I learned the friendliness of the people. I won’t forget this experience because it was an important step in my life. I enjoyed every minute of my stay while I was away from home. I know there is no way to repay all the kindness everyone has shown me, but I will always cherish the memories I have. I can’t say enough thank yous but thank you is the only word that expresses my feelings toward you. So thank you friends, thank you Centura. I’ll keep you in my heart. 78 Jr. High Faculty MRS.
