My dear friend Ray, I’m sorry I replied you many times but the emails were returned. So I post here as you may have a chance to see. Please reply me.I’m so happy to have your email here! I often remembered that you invited me a dinner at home. I met Rob there. I knew I made the circumnavigation because of You, Lynn, Charlie, Suzanne and other friends who helped me and encouraged me. I feel very sorry to see your wife  Lynn and Charlie, Suzanne are past away. I didn’t know that. So you are now 88 years old and still flirting  with learning to soar in a glider. Yes I really would like you to send me the letters after share them with Rob. May I visit you when I come to San Francisco next time? I went to Oakland and Alameda this April when I attended a boat show at Jack London Square.
