Gosh, Norene, You make me miss the south plains and llano estacado with your letter. As a Texas Tech grad, I can sure remember walking the long hakf mile from west parking to the Architecture building where the Dean is a Vick by marriage. Lubbock was sure a good place to live and a lot warmer in the winter than Warsaw. A local boy has recently done well, though. Hungarian-born Tech Grad Ambassador Nagy has just been appointed to his second posting (albeit in Africa). The other Tech grads in the Foreign Service (long shots that we are) are encouraged to see it. Jeff Norene wrote: > I have kept quiet here in Eastern New Mexico.
