Using the keyboard is very difficult and time consuming so please call my cellphone at 253-691-5339 between 11Am and 4PM PST any day of the week. After H.S.

Countries visited included Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and England. I got out in August, 1990, just before Desert Storm.
