Re-entry
So it was about 90 degrees when I got on the plane in Bonaire, and I was wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, and was sweating just standing still. I arrived home at 1pm Sunday and it was 65. Neuman and Priscilla picked me up after church and we went to Pizza Hut. It was a bit chilly. Now at noonish on Monday it's 60 degrees and I'm wearing jeans and a long-sleeved T-shirt. I don't think my new Bonairian flip-flops will be seeing much use in the near future. Is this really June?

I gotta know, auto designer, Holland is not too far away. Where is home?
ReplyDeleteI live in Detroit. I'm a former TWR MK (my Dad ran the Transmitter and helped design and build the Studio complex back in the '60's)

Spring Lake, which is on the other side of the river from Grand Haven and close to Muskegon. Our church (First Baptist in S.L.) supports Lee Lowell with TWR, who is now based in NC. Maybe you knew him. He grew up on Bonaire as a 'lazy missionary kid' (his words), so your dad and his dad were coworkers. That's cool that you stumbled across my blog. Thanks for posting! :) -Dean
ReplyDeleteYup. Knew him well. My folks and his folks were good friends. Lee really shocked me as to how far American boyhood had fallen while I had been gone a scant 18 months. He brought "dolls" with him. In the time between my arrival on Bonaire and the Lowell's, GI Joe had been invented. I had no frame of reference for action figures.
ReplyDeleteOh, I stumbled on your blog through Brad. He mentioned it on his. I check for updates from my second "home" now and then. I describe myself as a son of the Flamingo Island.
