Tornado Alley (PROG)

Yes, thank God, more than one but out of selfish pride, I have refused to count them. Listed were the top three. English was surpassed by Spanish in about 1986, I believe. So we anglophones aren't comparatively as numerous as we once were.

I didn't know I had this gift from God until my parents forced me against my will to study Latin at The Lakeside School in 1959 in Seattle. Now it has become one of the loves of my life. My professor of Latin, Dr. Ralph Naiden, also drove a school bus, and so influenced by him, I drove a Los Angeles bus for my career.

After graduation in Yakima, WA, I went to Europe with two classmates and ended up in Kolkata, which was Calcutta of 1964, 50 years ago now.

After so much world travel, I got a vision for my fellow Americans to also go live in different cultures. Uruguay is beckoning us.

Perhaps we could cooperate trying to improve meanings of life that we enjoy. I suggest a private message with your private electronic contact information and I will respond with mine. I hope for voluntary mass temporary migration of our people to other cultures to learn and share our unique way of life.

And I will discuss in more detail the languages I follow, which is a promise. You are priceless.
