I became friends with a young man in Bermuda that was a hotel bartender. He had stories galore and told us all about life on the island. It's not such a paradise when you're born and raised there. We went to his house that he shared with his mother, father and sister. They all worked in the hotel industry and made a lot of money but the cost of living is incredibly high. All of them wanted to get out of "paradise" and live in the US.

Every time I go to Bermuda, I stay at their house instead of a hotel. I had him and his sister visit me here in the States many years ago and they were both overwhelmed with the size, and we never went more than 200 miles from my house.

I met them in the 80's and we've been friends ever since. The mother and father were too afraid to fly and never made it to the States but their son has been here a number of times.

I never met him but I witnessed something he did which stuck with me. We snuck on the truck with Yang and was in Montana. We witnessed a car accident. The lady plowed into the back of this man and HE jumped out concerned for the lady asking her if she was okay! My jaw dropped! That don't happen in Cali!
