He was standing exactly where he said he'd be. He was easy to pick out from the other people waiting curbside at the airport terminal; he stood at least a head taller than most people, and his slim, muscular build and air of relaxed confidence gave him a grace that was uncommon in most men. He was the kind of person that people always ask for directions. I g...
Life was tough in the village. Financial challenges at home denied me the privilege to seek better jobs or even to wait for appropriate jobs offer. After sleepless nights pondering over the directions of my life, I made one final decision, join the others, move to town, take what ever job that pays.

Another driver was to take us back to our RV, fare already taken care of. Dollie was again dressed as best she could be before we got downtown. We didn't know it at the time but Clyde had given the next driver enough of that...
