What a pleasant surprise to hear from you. Yes, 30 years or so have gone by and I still can remember some of the good old times.
I am in a new business at the moment which I’m familiar with: Selling Abalone.
The new aspect is that I am working for an Australian Co. When you emailed me, I was in south Australia for three weeks working over my business plans. I find this almost science fiction– the thought of traveling half way around the world to get abalone when, in the 1960s I would just go out on my boat to dive and supply my restaurant: the Crab Cottage.
I would love to see you. Let me know when you may be coming out this way. Thanks for updating me on everyone.
best regards
