Mr. Scotes, accompanied by his daughter Athena, came to talk about his book, &#8220;A Weft of Memory&#8221; dedicated to the memory of Vasiliki Scotes, mother and grandmother, who, before his death at age 104, told his Thomas son over 300 songs and poems from Theodoriana region, Epiros Greece.   The choir sang  <br>&#8220;\u0393\u03b9\u03ac\u03bd\u03bd\u03b7 \u03bc\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c4\u03bf \u03bc\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03ae\u03bb\u03b9 \u03c3\u03bf\u03c5&#8221; and we finished the morning with a dance from the region of Epiros to which the ambassador participated with joy. It was a great success and a true lesson of Greek culture for our young people. <a href=\"https:\/\/hcgm.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=a2a5cd6716c4aae4b0d1133b9&amp;id=5d809e142e&amp;e=0585de31f3\">Click here<\/a> to see  <br> and hear the moving song of the choir.<br> <a href=\"https:\/\/hcgm.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=a2a5cd6716c4aae4b0d1133b9&amp;id=707f96da63&amp;e=0585de31f3\">Click here<\/a> to see our students dancing happily with the ambassador.
