I have worked with a blonde little fella from uppervolta, who had a cute red VW Beetle convertible, he did not know him either, nor did his mother!
I have no idea what all that meant, but what I do know; is that it is extremely interesting when you meet the old timers who have gone all over the world and hear their stories. If one could only wrap up all that experience in a little ball and implant it through the eye socket....
