MARVIN, ALICE, MYSELF AND MARGARET ENTERING BAILOR VILLAGE IN MYMENSINGH.
ALICE IN BAILOR VILLAGE NEAR MYMENSINGH. We spent 2.5 hours in this village. She quizzed them on English and they knew the numbers, colors and body parts in English. They have three schools in the village of 2500 in which they are taught English.

ALICE AT THE “FOREST GREEN RESTAURANT” in the Hotel Dallas building. Alice’s one favorite was mug dhal. There is also vegetable curry and beef curry for this meal.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET WIFE! Here she is having her birthday breakfast. Mango juice, omelet, toast, butter, jelly, and coffee or tea. On this trip she has sure been enjoying the Kindle her friends gave her for an appreciation gift.
YESTERDAY WAS A FULL DAY as we celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary. We walked for 45 minutes at 4:45 am. At 6:45 I played 2 hours of tennis, followed by a nice breakfast. Was back home in time to go to Coffee World to celebrate with Dustin and Alice. We were celebrating our anniversary, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Alice’s birthday which is coming up in 4 days. Home in time for a nap before supper. Supper was left-overs! Of course the left0vers were mashed potatoes and steak! I must confess it is the best steak in Dhaka, since my wife knows how to cook up a terrific swiss steak. I then went shopping for some things Alice wanted before our trip and also bought 20 red roses, which she really enjoyed. Then after shopping I had a few minutes before we went to Jeremy’s for A & W root beer floats. This is one of our favorite drinks! It was very thoughtful of them to fix these for us. Then it was home to bed. Today was almost as fast and furious. A friend who had borrowed my camera returned it at 8:20 pm, in plenty of time for our 5:30 am departure for the train station. Almost a week in Syhlet, Bangladesh and then on into India, staying near Cherrapungee for several days.
HAPPY 42ND ANNIVERSARY TODAY FOR Alice, my wonderful wife and I. She has been a faithful comrade throughout life. Whether hiking in Nepal, Colorado, Arizona or Bali she has been a trooper navigating canyons, volcanoes, and mountains! Married life, in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Ontario, Ohio and Bangladesh! I thank God for giving me such a wonderful companion. I met her on September 18, 1966 in beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and married her 1,000 days later!!

EKUSHI FEBRUARY, AND INTERNATIONAL MOTHER LANGUAGE DAY! MY WIFE, ALICE, AND I HAD our faces painted which is a tradition on holidays. We both had the Shohid Minar (language martyrs memorial) painted on our faces and Alice had the Bangladesh national flag painted on her hand. This is the day in 1952 when some students were martyred who were protesting because Pakistan didn’t want Bangla as one of the national languages. At this time Alice and I were 3 1/2 years old.
