2024 reminiscences
I don’t know how this trip escaped me at the time, but I have no notes from it. Only memories. 
We did a China trip with the Yangtze cruise. It was a pretty close knit group, with Brian Udovich as one of the ringleaders. Brian was president of the AMA at Illinois Wesleyan and led a 
pretty strong chapter. A football player, he was glad he found a good tailor in Hong Kong. I think Maheesh Raju was also on the trip, and Maheesh could not help himself with the numerous “bargains”. He had two or three extra suitcases by the end of the trip. Dr. Jin is pictured here chasing “heesh” to the bus, as “Heesh” said, “Just one more bargain.” He could not resist “genuine” cricket shirts. And one of the sororities sent several “brothers” who, in Shanghai, posed as Charlie’s Angels. Not sure they qualified, but one had a splendid rendition of “I just called to say I love you” that still warms my memories of the Yangtze cruise.
