"Ann and I visited your country to deliver a Buddhist altar to a friend and to have an American Thanksgiving dinner at the Empress. We are already back home without having had enough time to phone you with the news.
We traveled to Victoria with John and Jeanette Howard. The food area was packed and they were gracious enough to let us share their table. We started chatting away about Paris when we discovered that she was Egyptian-French or at least raised there. Ann's first husband was also an Egyptian Coptic who had to flee the new Nasser regime way back. We kept talking about teaching and I mentioned that a friend at Camosun and I had spent a week teaching for each other ...
John looked at me and asked, "Are you from the CIA? Are you talking about Jim Sexton? I golf with him twice a week."
Small world, indeed. Now we have even more reasons to get together."
Jim relaxing at the boathouse. It's been a tough term...I'm sure he wishes he was sitting there now rather than marking and preparing.
