1965 Classmates

"There is a great good in returning to a landscape that has had extraordinary meaning in one's life. It happens that we return to such places in our minds irresistibly.  There are certain villages and towns, mountains and plains that having seen them, walked in them, lived in them even for a day we keep forever in the mind's eye.  They become indispensable to our well-being.  They define us and we say I am who I am because I have been there."
N. Scott Momaday

Comment:                                          A FAVORITE STORY

While on vacation a tourist comes upon a most idyllic scene: a man in simple clothes dozing in a fishing boat that has been pulled out of the waves which come rolling up the sandy beach. The camera clicks, the fisherman awakens.



The tourist engages the man in conversation: "The weather is great, there are plenty of fish, why are you lying around instead of going out and catching more?" The fisherman replies: "Because I caught enough this morning."



"But just imagine," the tourist says, "you could go out there three or four times a day, bringing home many more fish and do you know what could happen?"



The fisherman shakes his head.



"After about a year you could buy yourself a motor-boat," says the tourist. "After two years you could buy a second one, and after three years you could have several boats. And just think! One day you might be able to build a freezing plant or a smoke house, or you might eventually even get your own helicopter for tracking fish and guiding your boats, or you could acquire your own trucks to ship your fish to the capital ."



"And then?" asks the fisherman.



"And then", the tourist continues triumphantly, "you could be calmly sitting at the beach side, dozing in the sun and looking at the beautiful ocean!"



The fisherman looks at the tourist: "But that is exactly what I was doing before you came along!"
