[PRCo] Re: Indian cultural differences

[John Swindler]

1954, 1969 and 1970.  First one doesn't count, as it was with family, but last two were courtesy of Chi. Tran. Auth.  It was around 1974 that Harold G. suggested that I should visit Lancaster and help two guys out with a certain magazine.  And this does go back to list topic, (very tenuous) because it was during an evening PTM fantrip on PAT.
