1969 Bowling with Dick, Cheryl and Gail, then we picked up Mary and went to Bridgeman's. Proposed to Gail [ed. - at 3AM so technically on the 12th] across her kitchen table.
1970 Suva with Whites, Domo and Susi's sister Jeneti. PC Office to get my gamma gobulin shot. Ran into Susan G, the Parkers and Paul Sinnot (PC Staff). Had a long chat with Chuck and finally met the director, Jack. There are PCVs from Mpls in Fiji VI. On my way to Desai's I ran into Waqa, Anare R, Savenaca and Jonacani. Ian and I placed a $30 library order. Ran into Murphys at the bank and had lunch with the Kacimaiwais. Went to the market and bartered a masi down from $2 to $1.60. Ran into Meli U, Viliame Dau, Taniela and Mesake. I was reading on a bench when I was joined by Josevata T and we chatted for a while. Then I was joined by Sigston, Peter and Nacanieli N. Went to M-H's to get some food and DIDN'T meet anyone there. Desai's to pick up the books and Jonacani helped me carry them to White's car. M-H's and we ran into Sova, Vic Davis and a talkative chap from NZ. We ate at New Peking where I saw Bill Goodman. Others I ran into were Bill Thomas, the Griffins and Mark. In otherwords, a typical day in Suva.

1991 Joyce left on van at 7:45AM when I was woken by Lucky's barking. So I now have the place to myself for a week. Set up my Apple IIC and it works with the TV as monitor. Dark at 6:30PM. Couldn't get the microwave going so it was the oven for the roast beef.
1997 Th - Day 66 of our 3 month journey around the world. Went with Joyce to Prescott Valley and the new center by Walmart. Gail and I went to Thumb Butte Park for a walk in the forest. Called home and found out that plumber replaced element in water heater. Went under Joyce's house to get the box of clothes and stuff that I left in 1991. Played Ad Mania and it was great fun, even Joyce got into it (video). Hoffsis called twice, about hiking, travel plans etc...
