I really did ride on the little yellow school bus in Havana when I traveled with a Friendshipment Caravan in 2007.  And folks in Colorado have saved four buses now from the junk yard.  Three are already in Cuba and the fourth will get there this summer.  One of them is being used by the Juan Diaz Ortopedica Hospital in Havana.  It is a good thing that we have done and I am proud of and grateful to those who have made it possible.
     The story is also, as you may have guessed, about Ben.  All too often when peope retire they are no longer considered to be of value.  Ben knew that is simply not true--and so should you.  The best to you as you decide on your adventure, whatever it may be, when you head into your golden years.
