At my retirement dinner in December 1986, I told the audience that my wife, Mary, and I were leaving but that our hearts would remain in Saudi Arabia. How true that is even to this day. Our hearts are still there. How could anyone who lived among our Arab friends and the Arab people not feel sadness about leaving?  We were fortunate to have so many Saudi friends and work with so many fine Saudi employees for the over 33 years we lived in Arabia. Those friendships are strong even after 21 years of retirement.
