Abstract
This past summer, the Bulgarian government was the host country for an International Year of the Child World Assembly for youngsters gifted in the areas of art, music, and creative writing. G/C/T Editor Gold was contacted by Dr. Dorothy Sisk, then Director of the Office of Gifted and Talented, to be one of five adult American representatives. Dr. Sisk also requested that an Alabama youngster be identified as one of ten American children to be selected to go. A competition supported by a grant from the M. W. Smith, Jr. Foundation of Mobile was scheduled. The grand prize winner, Cary Chappell, was awarded a round trip ticket from Mobile, Alabama, USA to Sofia, Bulgaria. Diary entries by Chappell and Gold form the text of this article. All photos are by Editor Gold.
