My Travels!
My Travels
My overseas assignments were not always 5 Star Hotels, Caviar & Tuxedos or Limo pickups from the airport. Most times I was roughing it. This is me in my hotel room in Samara, a city in southwestern Russia. (November, 1996) Notice the legroom and the wonderful assortment of brilliant colors!

My Next Literary Tasks
