Slightly off-topic, but not totally, but my friendship with this Other Carl is how i ended up in Asia - that university year in Hong Kong in '63-64 that led me down to Saigon the first time - and we'd meet again when he was with IVS in South Vietnam and then a life-long friendship until his disappearance into a Japanese old folks home with dementia.  

I was quite distressed to hear the news but just spend a day recalling our long years of friendship - where & when - cleared the mind.  And then right after posting this on Substack, his daughter got directly in touch by email. What a wonderful coincidence! 


Cheers and best regards to e'one,

Carl
