During travels, one meets personalities and distinguished figures from dining together, exchanging pleasantries, and sharing ideas; eventually becoming friends and acquaintances.
In my many years of traveling, I am not only proud, but honored, to have gotten acquainted with men and women who have shared their ideas and resources in order to build a better society.
It is through travel where one encounters new adventure, business opportunities, and an overall great experience. The food, accommodations, and hospitality are things money cannot buy.
These are some of the people I have met, from whom I learned from and saw the brighter side of themselves./WDJ
