*You travel a lot. * *I traveled a lot before I reached 60. * *Africa, South America, Central America, Europe and all those places. Spent years in Colombia and Peru. Got stuck in Argentina during the Malvinas War. Lived in Real de Catorce for five years all in the era before technology and never thought or missed it. I guess since I don't use it I don't miss it. I still like steel nibbled pens that you dip into an ink well to do art. Something about that makes a connection, you can't make a mistake. *
*Sent faxes from Talara, Peru in those days. Flew in Portuguese helicopters in Angola and Italian ones in Zaire. It was all good fun and devious. Did somethings in Africa with the French military mission as a liaison person, since I was raised with that as my first language back when I was going to grade school in Switzerland.* On Thu, Aug 4, 2016 at 11:17 AM, Bill Steele via Texascavers < texascavers@texascavers.com> wrote: > Que lastima.
