[Dialogue] Can you recall?

[Jo Nelson]

There was some question that connected the two parts — a question to ground
the quote in current everyday experience.

I remember two anecdotes about these conversations. One was from Peoria in
1973-4 where Wayne’s and my clock radio would wake us to a program called
“Waste Not Want Not”, an environmental program. So we had lots of
environmental news over breakfast that year!

The other story is from Bayad, where Abuna Mateus, the local Coptic Priest
usually joined us for breakfast. Josip Tito from Yugoslavia was ill, and
Abuna, who heard the Arabic news on the radio but had limited English would
always have the news event “Tito has a stomachache.”

Take care,
Jo
