Comments:

The latest is that I have just been appointed Director of Development and Solidarity for the Augustinians of the Assumption (Assumptionists) world-wide. I will be opening offices in Rome, Italy and Boston, Ma. in addition to Nairobi, Kenya. Until Oct.1 I was in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.. I am happy to return to Kenya and to spend 3 months each year in Europe and 3-4 months in the USA. My more "permanent" community will be Nairobi.

I have stayed in contact with Roland over these many years.  Almost every year when I would return to the USA, I would visit with Roland and Rachel at their home or at their summer camp.  Since his stroke, several years past, we have kept in touch via the internet and these almost annual visits.  Roland was a very committed Knight of Columbus and he did manage to persuade me to join the Kniights two years ago and this past July, thanks to Roland's contacts, I was "exemplified a 4th degree knight".  I will always remember Roland as a very inquisitive mind interested in things scientific and technical.  He and Rachel were married for 51 years and were a delightful couple to spend an evening with.  May he rest in peace.
