And help, Oh God, that all of us will not have died in vain,
May tyranny be wiped away to never rise again.

OCFA firefighters responded to a report of smoke in the
attic in Building 218 on Foxburg Road Sept. 25.
Two fires in two days spark
plea for vigilance in LW
by rutH osborn
neWs edItOr
Two fires in two days were reported in Leisure World last
week, prompting Golden Rain Foundation Executive Director
Randy Ankeny to issue a plea for vigilance and a warning
that people found negligent in causing fires have an extreme
liability exposure (see article, below).
On Sept. 25, firefighters were called to Mutual 9’s Building 218 on Foxburg Road at about 2:20 p.m. in response to
a report of smoke in the attic.
Minutes before fire trucks pulled into Foxburg Road,
Leisure World Security personnel and GRF Safety and
Emergency Coordinator Eloy Gomez ran from door to door
evacuating people and pets, including four dogs and a parrot.
No one was injured.
Residents huddled across the street as firefighters in breathing appartus converged on the building. Smoke was billowing
from an attic vent, but no flames were visible.
The fire was under control by 2:40 p.m.
Capt. Steve Concialdi, Orange County Fire Authority
(OCFA) spokesman, said officials are investigating the incident. A cause was not immediately available. Smoke damaged
several units, and there was slight fire damage in the attic
area, according to Security and OCFA reports.

LEGION OF HONOR
WORLD WAR II vet William Spurrier (left, kneeling) of Mutual 7 flew 29 combat missions over
France in a Marauder medium bomber. He was awarded France’s highest honor last week.
Valorous Vet Celebrated

It’s been 70 years, but the sacrifice of World War II veteran William Spurrier was honored last
week when the nation of France
bestowed its highest award—the
Legion of Honor—on the softspoken 90-year-old.
The years have not diminished
the patriotism that drove Spurrier
to enlist straight out of Poly High
in Long Beach. They have only

We have been plagued with a cycle of kitchen and cooking
related fires. According to the Nation Fire Protection Association,
“when it comes to fires in the home, cooking fires are No. 1.”
Unattended cooking is the top cause of cooking fires nationally
and is the No. 1 cause of fires within our community.
In past articles we have shared what to do in the event of a
fire. Let’s address the costs and the effect on your life.

added the beautiful patina of a
life well-lived and an enduring
legacy that reaches into three
generations.
In 1943, 19-year-old Spurrier
left hearth and home to defend
life and liberty as a gunner in a
B-26 Marauder medium bomber.
He survived 29 combat missions
over France before the war ended
in 1945.
On Sept. 23, Christophe Lemoine, the French consul general
in Los Angeles, thanked Spurrier
and four other medal recipients
for leaving their families “to not
only liberate France, but all of
Europe.” He pinned the Legion of
Honor medal to Spurrier’s chest
in a private ceremony attended
by about 100 people.
It was held aboard the Queen
Mary, a fitting location. Spurrier
crossed the cold Atlantic from
New York to Europe aboard the
Queen Mary in December 1944.
Spurrier, who lives with his
wife, Janet, in Mutual 7, recounted
the journey in “WWII Memoir,”
a 176-page book he wrote and
published at the age of 90.
“I had never seen such a huge
ship, let alone boarded one,” he
wrote. “I found out later there
were almost 12,000 troops on this
crossing. The ship could carry as
many as 15,000.”
It took several hours for everyone to board. Then the ship
pulled away from the dock, heading unescorted down the Hudson
River, sailing past the Statue of
Liberty, and into the open sea.
“This was a thrill for me, and

OC Sheriffs Dept.
shoots down new scam
by Jim Breen
Issues/Opinions
American Legion
Senior Patriots
Watch Your Step
Editor
Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department has asked us to inform
readers of a telephone scam that is now being attempted on unsuspecting residents.
The calls are coming from individuals misrepresenting themselves
as department employees. The caller usually tells
the intended victim that a warrant has been issued
for their arrest due to failure to appear for jury duty.
They are also informed that they must pay
a fine or deputies will come to their homes and
arrest them.
Much like the “Grandma scam,” the caller will
instruct the victim to get a money order, conduct
a wire transfer, or buy a gift card (usually Green
Dot) and send it to “pay the fine.”
The Sheriff’s Department or any other government agency will never call to solicit money for fines or solicit
warrant information by phone, never ask for money go to homes to
collect a fee for a warrant.
•••
A home warranty company has been sending bogus bills to
residents across the country, and one of them recently landed in the
Mutual 8 mailbox of Ivalon Corston. Her bill was $315 for a variety
of costs, primarily pool/spa equipment.
The sender had her correct name and address, but Corston has
never heard of BFG.

Members of the American
Legion Leisure World Post 327
requests members to help take
clothing left over from the Community Church rummage sale
to the homeless veterans base
at Cabrillo in west Long Beach.
Members will assemble at 1 p.m.
on Friday, Oct. 2 at the alley behind the church or in front of the
church for loading. A car/truck
caravan will take the clothing to
the agency, which is sponsored
by U.S. veterans.
•••
A new federal law now allows
retirees and veterans to salute the
United States flag.
Traditionally, members of
the nation’s veteran’s service
organizations have rendered the
hand-salute during the national
anthem and at events involving
the national flag only while wearing their organization’s official
headgear.
The National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 contained
an amendment to allow outof-uniform service members,
military retirees, and veterans
to render hand salutes during the
hoisting, lowering, or passing of
the U.S. flag.
A later amendment further
authorized hand-salutes during
the national anthem by veterans
and out-of-uniform military
personnel.
This was included in the Defense Authorization Act of 2009,
which President Bush signed on
Oct. 14, 2008.
See the full text from the law
at www.military.com.

local post, call Cmdr. Jim Hoover
at 342-9434 or First Vice Cmdr.

by Les H. Cohen, Mutual 15
Legislative Advocate Emeritus/OC
Ombudsman
Calling for an end to the political tricks that
Californians thought ended when they approved
Proposition 25 in 2010, Sen. Pat Bates (R-Laguna
Niguel) has co-authored Senate Constitutional
Amendment (SCA) 10 with Sen. Bob Huff (R-San
Dimas). The measure is known as the Budget Accountability and Transparency Act of 2015.
In 2010, California voters overwhelmingly Les H. Cohen
approved a new law they definitely thought would
send lawmakers a clear message: pass a state budget on time or lose
your paychecks.
SCA 10 is intended to close the loopholes/maneuvers. The need
for SCA 10 was recently demonstrated when the senate majority
party allegedly misused Proposition 25. The party pushed through
a series of new amendments to the state budget called trailer bills
after the June 15 constitutional deadline to pass the state budget.
SCA 10, amending sections 8 and 12 of Article 1V of the state
constitution, may be acted on by the Senate on or after Oct. 12. The
measure has 12 senate co-authors and awaits referral by the rules
committee.
The measure requires a two-thirds vote by both houses of the
Legislature and cannot be heard/acted upon until 31 days after it
has been introduced. That is unless the house of origin dispenses
with that requirement by a roll call vote with three-fourths of the
membership concurring.

of music as a style of playing,
essentially a way of playing the

with Roger Wilkie and KUSC personality Rich Caparella.

Kurios from Cirque du Soleil’s new show
Cirque du Soleil
Kurios opens Oct. 15 in Orange County
Kurios—Cabinet of Curiosities—from Cirque du Soleil’s new
touring show will perform under the iconic blue-and-yellow big
top at the OC Fair and Event Center Oct. 15-Nov. 29, followed in
Los Angeles by Cirque du Soleil’s first visit to Dodger Stadium
Dec. 10-Feb. 7.
This is an exclusive engagement of Kurios for Southern California. Following Dodger Stadium, the show travels on and does
not return under the current touring plan.
Tickets range in price from $50-$165 and are available at
cirquedusoleil.com/kurios or by calling 1-877-924-7783.
The show premiered in Montréal in April 2014 and is Cirque
du Soleil’s 35th production. Since its debut, the critics have called
it “a dazzling, hyper-detailed, potent, quixotic and generally
fantastic show.”
The San Francisco Chronicle said “Kurios is the best Cirque
du Soleil show in a long time.”
Written and directed by Michel Laprise, “Kurios” is a tale in
which time comes to a complete stop, transporting the audience
inside a fantasy world where everything is possible.
In this realm set in the latter half of the nineteenth century,
reality is quite relative indeed as human perception of it is utterly
transformed. The name of the show refers to the humble and
strange characters that inhabit the Seeker’s Cabinet of Curiosities.
In an alternate yet familiar past, in a place where wonders
abound for those who trust their imagination, a Seeker discovers
that in order to glimpse the marvels that lie just below the surface,
people must first learn to close their eyes.
In his larger-than-life curio cabinet, the Seeker is convinced
that there exists a hidden, invisible world – a place where the
craziest ideas and the grandest dreams lie waiting.
A collection of other worldly characters suddenly steps into
his makeshift mechanical world.
When the outlandish, benevolent characters turn his world
upside down with a touch of poetry and humor in an attempt to
ignite the Seeker’s imagination, his curios jump to life one by one
before his very eyes.
Cirque du Soleil celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2014 and
has entertained nearly 150 million spectators in more than 300
cities on six continents.
Cirque du Soleil has close to 4,000 employees, including 1,300
performing artists from close to 50 different countries.

Treasurer’s Column
Rumors…what a destructive thing they can be when stated without the full facts. To
take figures out of context and without the full back up data and then state flawed
conclusions is irresponsible and damaging to many hardworking, conscientious, and
honorable people.
Shareholders, I would like to tell you exactly what the facts are. Just today, for example,
I initialed a charge to Walmart for dryer vents. Now, if a shareholder were to ask to
see the check register and were to see this charge, what should they do or think?
The responsible thing would be to ask for the backup paper work and not assume
something disreputable.
The Purchasing Department lead by the Purchasing Manager is doing a fantastic job
by shopping for the best prices available…no matter where that may be. Maybe it’s
for library books for the Library, cables and monitors for the ITS Department, dryer
vents for Service Maintenance, ping pong balls for Recreation or lunch from Subway
for an all-day work session of the Board.
Every expenditure disbursed by GRF is signed or initialed by myself, Treasurer and/
or Vice President Carole Damoci. Whether it is a check, credit card or debit card,
you will find one or both of our signatures or initials. And, you must know by personal
experience, that you cannot purchase items online without a credit card.

Short description of the purchase
The debit card log clearly displays the balance of the account and is monitored by the cardholder on a daily basis to ensure sufficient funds are available for the next purchase.
5.
The maximum amount of funds maintained in the debit card account is
$10,000.
6.
Funds are replenished when the balance falls below $2,000.
7.
Written procedures for staff define the user’s responsibilities when using the
card and are posted on the team site for the card user to reference.
8.
The user of the card is required to submit all proper forms and backup showing purchase approvals to an Accounting associate within a 24-hour period.
9.
The Accounting associate reviews prior day bank activity from the bank website and matches bank transactions to the supporting documents.
10.
The Accounting associate follows up / researches any discrepancies or missing documentation.
11.
Once all documentation has been reconciled to the bank transactions, the
paperwork is submitted to Accounts Payable.
12.
Accounts Payable enters the debit card transaction into the AP system and
logs the check numbers onto the debit card log.
13.
Debit card transactions are submitted with all other live check AP transactions to be reviewed by the Accounting Supervisor, Controller and Executive
Director and then to the authorized bank account signers (Treasurer and
other officers of the board).
14.
At the end of the month, the debit card checking account is reconciled to the

In closing, Vice President, Carole Damoci and myself spend many

card expenditures.
So when a shareholder accuses GRF of malfeasance, then they
are in fact accusing me. I do not sign or authorize any expenditure
lightly and I take full responsibility for all disbursements.
Please be responsible and think twice before you listen or pass
along unfounded rumors. If you have a question regarding any
aspect of the disbursement of funds, please give me the courtesy
of asking me. My email is [email protected].

President Dave Silva will be speaker Insurance facts
Leisure World Humanists
will meet at 10 a.m. on Sunday,

President Dave Silva will share
his story about how and when he

Afterward, a group usually meets

Where We Live
Town hall forum scheduled Oct. 15
The Where We Live Club, a
group that seeks to make Leisure
World an even better place to live,
will sponsor a town hall forum to
identify the areas where improvements can be made, and ways to
accomplish them. The forum will
be held at 6:30 p.m., Thursday,
The club will consider whether the community’s image needs
refreshing, good reasons for
changing the community name
and other issues facing the community. People are welcome to
come and take the opportunity
to share their thoughts, ask questions and get involved.

The We the People Club will
meet at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday,
This month’s topic is “Insurance—What We All Need to
Know.” A licensed insurance
agent who has over 1,000 insurance policy owners in Leisure
World will present information on
why shareholders/owners need
property/liability insurance and
what is the right kind of insurance
policy to buy.
Some people in the community do not realize the insurance
the mutuals have does not cover
personal liability or personal
property in the event of a fire or
other events.
Don’t wait until it is too late.
Some shareholders have the
wrong kind of insurance policy
and some don’t have insurance
at all. The mutual’s policy has
a $50,000 deductible, and if
the damage is the fault of the
shareholder/owner, he or she
may be responsible for paying
the $50,000 deductible. The goal
is to have the right insurance to
cover the full amount that people
would be liable for in the event
of a fire or other event.
Many new shareholder/owners have moved into Leisure
World and may want to know
more about the community. We
the People is a LW club dedicated
to providing a forum for exchanging valuable information on issues that affect all shareholder/
owners in the community.
People who have subjects that
they would like to see presented

Letters from hundreds of Jews immigrants inundated the desk
of the “Jewish Daily Forward” in the “green” years. They asked
for advice on many subjects. There were trivial, serious, comedic
and tragic letters. All of them can serve as a sociological study of
the people, their environment and of the times in which they lived.
After Yiddish new words and proverbs are introduced by President
Yakob Basner, there will be a discussion on the topic and letters of
the “Bintl Briv” will be recited.

I am often asked why we sell Zounds® Hearing aids for
so much less than other premium brands.
Charging less for a superior product is unheard of these days, and as consumers, we are all accustomed to paying more
for better quality.
The simple truth is that for me, hearing loss is personal. My daughter, Kate, lost most of her hearing as a toddler. Over the
years, my wife and I bought a number of high priced hearing aids, searching in vain for the one that would really help our
little girl. We witnessed many other children going without, because their families could not afford to provide them. I have
also met a number of adults who would not spend “that kind of money” on themselves, and so they purchase cheap
amplification devices or go without. This experience has had a major impact on my life and has provided the direction for
my company.
The goal of Zounds® Hearing is to provide the best quality hearing aids with the most innovative technology
at the lowest prices we possibly can. From our talented team of designers and engineers at our
corporate offices in Tempe to the dedicated professionals in your local Zounds® Hearing Center,
we are all committed to this shared goal.
I would like to personally invite you to come in and let our hearing professionals test your
hearing free of charge and fit you with a Zounds® hearing aid. You have nothing to lose
and so much to gain.
If you or a loved one are suffering with hearing loss, come in and experience the
Zounds® difference.

Sam Thomasson

Legion of Honor
France gives
honor to living
WW II veterans
Since 2004, the 60th anniversary of the D-Day landings in
Normandy, the French government has been awarding limited
numbers of the French Legion
of Honor, its highest award, to
living World War II veterans with
honorable service in France during WWII before May 8, 1945.
In recent years the number
of awards has significantly
increased, and the program is
now open to all living honorably
discharged WWII veterans who
can provide proof of service in
France. Service must have been
on the ground in French territory,
air space or territorial waters. The
award is not presented posthumously. Those living veterans
who have records worthy of
consideration must have their
documentation submitted to
their nearest French Consulate
addressed to the attention of
Veterans Affairs. As a minimum,
the following documentation will
be required:
• Copy of Honorable Discharge document showing participation in one of the recognized
campaigns in France, including
Normandy, southern France,
northern France, Vosges Mountains, etc. The Ardennes-Alsace
and Rhineland campaigns will
be considered only if proof of
military duty in France can be
provided. Just transiting through
France to another country would
not likely qualify. Naval and
Coast Guard veterans serving
offshore should provide proof
their vessel was in French territory. Aircrew members can
provide official records of any
missions over France that show
their participation.

Bangkok
Shopping spree in Thailand nets 18 filled suitcases
by LeiLa CLauDio
LW cOntrIbutOr
I met up with my girls Julie
and Yolanda, my sister Eva and
my niece Narra in Bali, Indonesia,
to go kamikaze shopping in the
underbelly of Bangkok, Thailand.
From Bali, it took five hours
by plane to get to Bangkok. The
taxi took us to Asia Hotel, right
in the center of Bangkok. Just
outside the hotel is the street food
vendors’ market, five minutes
away is the money exchange
and on the second floor is the
skyway train stop that goes all
around the city.
We left our baggage at the
hotel and went to the MBA shopping mall, less than 10 minutes
away on foot.
MBA is not like the shopping
malls in the States. It consists of
stalls so tight you can’t even try
clothes on, as there’s no room to
maneuver. The prices are so cheap
that you have to take a chance that
the clothes will fit.
For dinner, we went outside to
the night market and had a feast
of steamed clams in chili garlic
sauce. So good!
Prior to returning to the hotel,
I had my fortune told. I’m supposed to live a long life, greater
than 85 years; have good health;
although not this month, get a
new car; and meet a new man.
The girls had fun with me on

that one. Let’s see, shall we?
On the second floor of the
hotel is the access to the BTW
skytrain. Our stop is Ratchatewi,
we needed to go to Mo Chit (end
of the line) to the Chatham weekend market.
This was not a sightseeing
trip, strictly shopping and nothing else.
At night we went to eat at
Kuang Seafood Restaurant with
two different kinds of crabs and
noodles.
The “Grab” taxi cost only $3.

PLEA
From page 1
First, imagine your home and the lifetime of memories contained
in your home. Now think about all of those cherished items, the
mementos, photos, honoraria, and items representing your families,
friends and memories. And now you hear someone screaming FIRE!
This small word can and will change your life.
The simple act of leaving the kitchen in less than five minutes
can destroy everything you own. What the fire does not consume,
the water to put the fire out and the smoke will ruin forever. Leaving
you with what is shown in the picture below:
In the past six years the community has been affected by six major
fires and numerous minor fire incidents. The primary factor in all fires
was us. Unattended cooking represents over 90 percent of all fires.
Fire by the numbers
• Over $3 million in property damages, personal property loss
totaling well over a half-million dollars. Irreplaceable photos and
mementos gone forever.
• Six months to over one year – this is how long you may be out
of your home during the rebuilding.
• Only duly permitted building and interior improvements will
be covered. Otherwise it will be standard finishes.
• $10,000 – the current insurance policy may only pay for up to
$10,000 to replace your personal property.
• $15,000 – The current policy may only pay for up to $15,000
for housing while your home is being rebuilt. It is noted that this
amount will barely cover six months of housing in most cases.
Insurance Deductible - $50,000
and the amount that you may be responsible for if the fire
was due to your negligence and/or misuse.
Liability exposure is extreme if you are found negligent in causing
the fire. Let’s all work together and stop this cycle of fires.
Never leave the kitchen while cooking and do not let the simple
act of preparing a meal turn into a fire like the one in 2010 (see
photo, page 1).

FIRE
From page 1
OCFA red-tagged apartments
D and I in Building 218, and
yellow-tagged units C, K and L
for smoke damage.
A second fire was reported at
8:17 a.m. on Sept. 26 at 1771 Sunningdale Road, 49-L, in Mutual
14, according to Security reports.
The grandson of a shareholder
reported hearing a smoke alarm
and saw smoke, prompting him
to enter the apartment through an
unlocked patio door. An electric
stovetop was on fire. A glass dish
had been left on a hot burner, according to Security reports.
The grandson threw water on
the fire and turned off the burner.
There were no injuries and the
cause was deemed “accidental,”
according to the OCFA fire report.
“Food was left on the stove
with combustibles next to it,”
said Concialdi. “You should
never have anything combustible
near the stove. That includes
potholders and paper towels. And
don’t store anything in the oven.
The oven should be only used
for cooking, not for storage or
anything else.”
He also advised residents
to remain in the kitchen while
cooking or, if a person is called
away, to turn off all appliances
before leaving.
This is one of several fires that
has displaced shareholders since
2010. Among the most notable:
• In April 2010, OCFA responded to a structure fire in
Mutual 9. That fire was contained
to one unit.
• In June 2013, fire broke out
in Mutual 7, and two units were
red-tagged.
• In October 2014, two residents were displaced after fire
broke out in a Mutual 3 building.
• In March 2015, an apartment fire in the 1600 block of
Northwood Road in Mutual 11
displaced five people and damaged six units, fire officials said.
• On July 16, 2015, an oven fire
caused the evacuation of Building
278 on Del Monte Road.
The GRF Purchasing Dept.
has several fire prevention aids.
• Auto-Out is an automatic fire
suppressor that can be installed
on venthoods. The small cannister
will drop powder on the stove top
when flames touch it. Auto-Out
for the range hood costs $34.15
for a pair; for the microwave,
$60.59 per pair.
• Fire extinguisher, full size,
costs $26.24 each.
• Fire Gone, a 16-ounce portable fire extinguisher, is effective
on small fires; $7.16 each.

From page 1
I’m sure it was for many others,” he said.
The Queen was alone. She did not need Navy escorts to defend
against submarine attacks because she was fast and nimble. Her speed
was 26 knots, about 30 miles an hour, very fast for ships of the time
and much faster than submarines. So it zigzagged across the Atlantic,
arriving in Gourock, Scotland, in December 1944.
In early 1945, Spurrier landed in a small French village called
Bouvincourt, where his combat squadron was attached to the 397th
Bomb Group. With characteristic French hospitality, every man was
poured a glass of cognac, a fine French brandy. It was an unexpected
greeting, like ‘welcome to combat,’” Spurrier wrote.
His service was brief but intense. Technical Sgt. William Spurrier
was inducted into the U.S. Army Air Corps in July 1943. He flew
29 bombing missions into Germany before the war ended in 1945.
He was discharged at Ft. MacArthur, California, in December 1945.
His decorations include the Air Medal with four oak leaf clusters,
the EAME Campaign Medal, the American Campaign Medal and
the World War II Victory Medal.
After the war, he completed a bachelor’s of science degree in
public administration at the University of Southern California and
had a 30-year career with the Long Beach Fire Department, retiring
as a deputy chief in 1978.
He has three daughters with his first wife, June, now deceased,
and two grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
He and his wife, Janet, moved to Leisure World about 10 years ago.
In an interview Friday, Spurrier said he felt honored to have received the Legion of Honor. “It’s a beautiful medal,’ he said, taking
it from its box to admire it.
It is the same medal that was bestowed by Francois Hollande,
president of France, to three American tourists and an Englishman
who tackled an armed man suspected of terrorism on a train in
France Aug. 23.
“Anyone who qualifies should get it,” Spurrier said. “France
started awarding it to World War II veterans in 2000.”
Foreign nationals who have served France or the ideals it upholds
may receive a distinction from the Legion of Honor.
American recipients include generals Dwight D. Eisenhower
and Douglas MacArthur, Admiral Michael Mullen, and even, as an
institution, the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Today there are approximately 93,000 Legion of Honor recipients.
American veterans who risked their lives during World War II and
who fought on French territory qualify to be decorated as Knights
of the Legion of Honor.
Veterans must have fought in one of the four main campaigns of
the liberation of France: Normandy, Provence, Ardennes, or northern
France.
The Embassy of France honors U.S. veterans on a frequent basis.
To review the qualifications, see story on page 21.

Loren M. White
1923-2015
Loren M. White, July 29,
1923- Sept. 23, 2015, died peacefully in his sleep at 92 of age
related conditions.
He lived a long life, and will be
remembered
for his kind
nature and
happy disposition. He had
an exceptional
ability to connect well with
people of all
ages and backgrounds. Favorite pastimes included travel,
golf and bodysurfing for most of
his years.
Loren was born in Los Angeles, graduated from Washington
High School in 1941, and played
football at Los Angeles City College prior to joining the Army in
1942. He served as a lieutenant
in the Army Air Corps, and flew
many missions while serving as
a B-17 bombardier, stationed
with the 15th Air Force in Italy.
He spent the last 16 months of
WW II in a German POW camp
(Stalag Luft 1) after his plane
was shot down near Salzburg,
Austria. Loren was awarded the
Purple Heart, the French Legion
of Honor, and the Air Medal with
three Oak Leaf Clusters for his
service in WW II.
After the war, he married
Gloria Vanderzee (1924-2008)
in 1948, graduated from USC
and became a teacher in the L.A.
Unified School District, where he
worked for 38 years until retiring
in 1989.
Loren and Gloria enjoyed a
long marriage of more than 59
years prior to Gloria’s passing.
The couple resided in Torrance,
California, raising four children
and later moving to San Marcos,
California to enjoy their retirement years. They relocated to Seal

be closer to family.
Loren is survived by his
four children and spouses, Tim
(Luisa), Vince (Stephanie), Jo

as we were vintage aficionados.
We went to Chinatown instead
with its Ali Baba warren of potential treasures.
We made a stop at Jim Thompson, a premier silk emporium, and
onto the Platinum and Paragon
malls (expensive, Beverly Hillsstyle malls).
We finished off our adventure with a final dinner at Salt
Restaurant, the best restaurant in
Bangkok. We decided to ignore
the hideous service because the
seafood carpaccio is to die for
and the “uni,” sea urchin, at $10
a piece was out of this world.
We arrived back at the girls’
home with 18 pieces of luggage
among the five of us, exhausted
but happy to be back in the balmy
breezes of Bali.
