... in response to Hal Wenz, posted by Cali vet on Aug 27, 2001Hey Vet,
This name conjures up some old and not too pleasant memories. No, not about him but about my first correspondence with a Latina way back when. Don't ask when! (-: The young lady I was writing to gave me his name as a contact for a condo where I would stay when I came to visit her. Well I never made it to Bogota as she married another gringo very shortly before I was to travel. I believe it was Hal who actually gave me the unpleasant news when I called to discuss his condo. Later L.M. wrote me a dear john letter, "James I'm sorry but there were three other guys other than you, xxxxx arrived first and he seems amiable. I'm sure you'll find someone as good as me". LOL I was pretty naive back in those days and not the cynic I am today. (-:
But I digress, back to Hal. I think he was a retired Dutch guy who married a younger Bogotana. Are we talking about the same guy??
