It's a Small World After All
Growing up, my friend Michael (who lived two houses away)
had two sisters. His little sister grew up, married a journalist, Josh, and
moved to Latvia for a year! Josh reports for the Baltic Observer, a weekly
English paper, and Lorraine found a job with Coopers and Lybrand. I called and
we arranged to get together.
The flowers were still out in Gaida's garden. I asked
Rondo how he was doing - he scratched his head saying, "O.K., I guess." He's
getting up in years, but you can't tell by his bark! In Riga, I approach our
rendevous point, the Freedom Monument. We talked politics over coffee, piragi,
and honey cake at the White Rose Café, then walked it off and stopped
for some pictures. (That's pretty much my theater outfit - maybe a small
faux pas!)
