I had to send you this follow-up from my friend Nino. You alone are responsible for this magic. I cried when I read this e-mail. Only those of us who lived in Asmara can fully appreciate the magic of connecting with old friends we loved there. I can never thank you enough for bringing my friends back to me, Rick. You are THE best there is! Here is a photo of Nino, Debbie and me, 1973. XOXOXOXOXO
