Here we are at the Nashville airport. Peirce Lamacchia is still oblivious to the fact that he's left his wallet in Knoxville.
Now that Peirce knows, everyone's trying to help. I must say, it handled the situation very well.

This is Dean. He is the director of the Ranch and he and his wife and 3 sons live on-sight. I got to interact with them a little and was very impacted by their humility, contentment, and flexibility. They were very sweet people!!
