Thanks Sam for giving me a firm friendly helping hand when I really truely needed it. You are such a caring friend. I am a better person having known you. Sam ...You accomplished so much in your lifetime. You are so versatile in so many areas. What a shining star in the heavens you are! Thanks for the late night early morning chess games in Karlsruhe or... who cares or remembers when they were! My Spanish has improved with your help...and Emma's too! Thanks for inviting me to the Chilean Fiestas and your very informative Chilean history lessons too! I use them frequently in all my Spanish classes. What a lucky person I am having known you...Sam! When I see a shooting star..."una estrella fugaz" I'm thinking "That's Sam!!! I wonder what he accomplished this time"!! Your Friend, Atento, Mark B Sivik |
