On the Beach at Ostend, Belgium, 1971

In the days of my youth as an exchange student in the summer of 1971. My friend Reenie (Maureen Thomson) took this photo. She was my traveling companion and fellow exchange student at the University of Cologne, Germany.

  2. The semester I spent at the University of Cologne was one of the most magical times in my life. I returned the next year to work at a restaurant and backpack around Europe. I'm way overdue for a return visit....

  3. That's something that I regret about my life as a young person... I would have buckled down in my foreign language studies so that I could have gone abroad.

  4. It's never too late to acquire another language and plan a special trip :)
