Over the past few months I have been
busy writing my autobiography.
I just finished a chapter called
Europe Adventures.
It has been a real journey to re-read
old letters and diaries to complete this chapter.
I relived so many events and
remembered the warmhearted people we met along the way.
Here is just one event I shall share.

| Marion, Mike, Lorraine and Jacqui |
"August 1960 We
met a young Canadian named Mike, in Italy at the Naples Youth
Hostel. He wanted
someone to hike with him so he came along with us.
I decided to hike with with him back to Rome, leaving Marion and
Jacqui to auto-stop together. Mike and I got a few rides
through the towns on the Mediterranean Coast. At one of our stops
there was a field of tomatoes. They looked delicious so Mike and I
picked a few and ate them. The one ride I will never forget. It was
with elderly fellow driving a new Alpha Romeo convertible sports car.
He traveled 140 kilometers and hour all the way to Rome "
