Saturday Nov. 13th: Went to Melbourne to see Tiger Woods play in the Australian Masters. Stayed with Chris and Graeme Milne who I had last met in Saudi in 1995. There was a reunion in Heuston Texas a couple of months ago and a good friend of mine, Susan, met them there. We had all been members of The Village Singers together and starred (!) in Brigadoon, Pirates Of Penanze, 'Lil Abner and Cinderella. Susan told them that I was 'somewhere in Australia' and sent me on their address. it turns out they were in Warrandyte, Melbourne. As my time here is so short, I decided to combine two activities on the one weekend.
It was great catching up with them and sharing stories and memories. It rained all day today so we just chatted and watched the golf on the telly. Their house was magnificent and the food delicious. After dinner they took out the old albums and we reminisced about Yanbu, Medi-ensalleh, The Red O etc. ...and of course The Village singers. They reminded me of the Prayer Around The Cross that I organised in Yanbu and how I got a 'feeling' from the carpenter that he was a Christian., and so was able to ask him to make the cross. Wonder where that cross is now? Look forward to meeting up in Ireland sometime in the future.
