Well, I got sent on a business trip to South Africa. I had written back routinely to a few friends and relatives while I was there, My writings had been posted here, but I need to edit those.

Many of these daily write-ups contained interesting or colorful stories about the people I worked with while there. One of my friends pointed out that some folks prefer not to have their names or other details mentioned on a web site etc, therefore I will carefully re-write the stories to be more considerate of them. My apologies to any of my friends who felt I had abridged their privacy with my earlier web pages.
