Your parents sound like amazing people. Thank you for sharing this with us - you are keeping their legacy alive by telling these important historical stories.

Thank you everyone for your kind feedback. Writing this story was therapeutic for me in the wake of my father’s passing last week.

I once asked him about this event and he replied “Is that what happened?”

A very humble man.

I may have another story in me.

Working title . . .

“The Day My Mom Taught the State Department ‘Coffee Diplomacy’”

10 months later I am still picking up the phone to call him. If I am one tenth the man my father was, I would feel I lived a good life.

I worry all the men like that are dying off.

Man, I need to go back outside

Wow, thanks for this. If we ever meet up the next time, tell us more of these stories.

Thanks Look171.

We’re local. Maybe at a PCA event
