- WHO IS MARIO?Outside of the customs cubicle, inside the front sliding doors to the Leon Airport in Mexico, my driver held an overhead cardboard sign with my last name hand printed on it: CAMPBELL.

- Just returned from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Internet sites explain that people travel to San Miguel to study art, learn Spanish and take Mexican cooking classes, if not moving there to live in the delightful historic town in central Mexico. I write that people go there to drown in tequila. What else? San Miguel featured prominently in the Mexican War of Independence, and has since developed ...

- My son told me he was getting married in Mexico next month and that my attendance was required. I was thrilled about the wedding but not the location. He had vacationed in Mexico several times and loved the cultural atmosphere, sun-drenched beaches, humid mountainous terrains, beer, food and the cheap way of life. Getting married in Mexico was an event contrary to my better judgment. It was ...

- Alexander Murray Palmer Haley was a guest speaker in my senior class—Black Political Thought in American History—at Cal-State University, Hayward, spring 1972.

He tolerated the March floods of 1955, survived the April mud slides and prospered through the housing construction during May. Nobility ran deep in his blood. He jumped from job to job, hopping and leaping and taking on the most arduous tasks, resembling “D-Day”, the largest ...

Having worked and lived in Dubrovnik, Croatia, studying the Croat culture, I understood many of the historical complications involved in displaying their small piece of earth. Gathering geographical and cultural information was easy. Romancing the locals in detailing historical and present Croatian ethics was difficult.My story ...
