Dear Friend:
I have just completed my first trip AROUND THE WORLD! I
have thrilling and important news for you. I have come up to the

time!

sound, I feel you will be interested in hearing a few things about
this LONG journey taken in such SHORT time. It's truly almost
unbelievable. Actually, we did, on one occasion, "arrive before we
started."
About 45 years ago I heard two comedians bragging about how
fast they could run. One said he could run 100 yards as fast as he
could clap his hands twice. The first clap, he said, was when he
started, and the second one when he finished. The other man said:
"Is that the fastest you can run? Man, you are SLOW! When I run
