They were some of the best days of my life. It is very hard to duplicate that
kind of experience. I still long for the connection with development that I
felt in those days.
I still feel that it was one of the most challenging and productive times of
my life. Yet it has been difficult to build on that experience in any significant
way back here in the U.S., other than for the speaking the Spanish
language.
Anyone you are looking for or would like to hear from?:
Jeff Miller of New York.
