Hello Jim!
Ron Walkley reports that while he was in Los Angeles recently he and his wife Marita took a bus ride to Mexico and beat the odds. On the bus they got talking to some of the other passengers who were interested to know that the couple were from New Zealand, especially one gentleman who was visiting the United States from Great Britain. He asked what part of New Zealand Ron and Mar-
ita were from and when they replied 'central North Island' the Englishman asked if they knew Jim Foster. "Of course", said Ron, "Known him for years". "Can you say hello to him from me, 1'm hiscousin, Bob Foster," said the Englishman. So there it is — "Hello Jim Foster, from Bob Foster", by way of L.A. Anyone care to calculate the chances of Jim meeting Ron's cousin in, say, Istanbul?
