Dennis Visits Turkey Dennis has many memories of Turkey. June 14, 1962, was a red-letter day in the life of Dennis Haines, the KCHS American Field Service exchange student. On this day, he boarded a plane in Denver, Colorado, for his trip to Montreal, Canada, the first step on his way to Edirne, Turkey, where he was to spend the rest of the summer. After an overnight stay in Montreal, Dennis and the other AFS students, bound for various parts of Europe, boarded the MV Seven Seas for their fascinating ocean crossing. The ten days aboard the ship were spent attending language and orientation classes. When the ship docked at Rotterdam, Dennis departed from his AFS friends and boarded a plane bound for Istanbul, Turkey, wherehe met his Turkish family, Mr. and Mrs. Omer Omur and children. The summer was spent attending scout camp and visiting beautiful Mosques, ancient ruins and various other points of interest. During the last nine days that Dennis remained in Turkey, he and the other exchange students in Turkey visited the capital, Ankara, and various other important cities in the land. With mixed feelings of sorrow and happiness the students from all parts of Europe once again gathered at Rotterdam for their return trip to the United States. Along with their souvenirs, they brought back memories of a full and happy summer. 22
