JC grads visit Ireland, Britain (03/25/08)

Joshua Atkinson traveled to Ireland and Britain in January as part of a class at Manchester College.

Atkinson visited Dublin, London, Bath, Stratford-upon-Avon and other cities and villages to study the different regions in the two countries, with a focus on the effects of war and how the past is part of the present. The trip also included Loch Ness, Stonehenge, the Roman baths, Imperial War Museum and more.

A Jay County High School graduate, Atkinson is a sophomore majoring in political science.
