Sabaydee Bernadette! This is your old teacher, Don Ranard. I’m trying to remember. . . Which class were you in? Let me hear from you. Are you in touch with any of your old classmates? I’m in Buenos Aires, Argentina these days. I went back to Savannakhet about 10 years ago, and things looked surprisingly the same, though I’ve been told there have been many changes since then. I hope to hear from you. My e-mail address is donranard@yahoo.com. Warm regards, Don

Donald Ranard’s story that won last year’s award took me back to my high school years at the Lycee de Savannakhet, and since then I have been trying to find his contact information. He was among the teachers who have made a strong impact on me.

Such a good read, and I’m learning a lot about quality writing along the way.

I just got it delivered on Friday. An excellent compilation with the stories about the Atlanta and doing ’shrooms in Indonesia as unexpected highlights. (This by no means diminishes “Road Roulette,” just that I’ve already read it.)

Yep, can’t wait to get a copy. Some books from Travelers Tales do make it to India these days.
