Travel to China, Tibet, and Nepal

Hello classmates

When I sat down sometime in the spring of ‘09 to write a piece for the 50th
Reunion Yearbook on my 45 or so years of travel, I had about 100 highlighted
Michelin maps and boxes and boxes of uncaptioned photos. Many provided
few clues as to where or when. Nor had I kept any journals and my guidebooks
contained very few marginal markings. So, the trips were difficult to reconstruct
and many many travel memories were gone for good.

I vowed then to write reports on my future travels, something to occupy me in
the old age home. I have done fairly well thus far although a trip to France in
October is thus far unreported and fast fading.

Herewith, I have submitted Part 1 of a report on a trip Rodney and I, Brother
Jimmy, and John Fawcett took in September. It was a great adventure for us.
And, if I had to write about it I hope at least a few of you may enjoy reading parts
or perhaps just looking at the photographs.

Merry Christmas or Happy holidays to all of you, and I congratulate Rex on making
through one of the big ones although they will all be “big” from here on out, huh?
Just keep moving

70!!!

I approach my 70th birthday this Saturday with all the joy of a motorist approaching a known speed trap in a small Arkansas town. I gotta go through the damn thing, but don't want to.

And I only mention it to you because I am among the 'oldest' of the class, so get to experience the benchmark before most. ( I could never play baseball with Hook, Kenworthy or Blackburn because 1/1 was the cutoff date for 3&2 leagues and I was 'too old'.))

If I feel any different when I wake up on Sunday, will let you know.
