Hi Marty…….. November 29, 2011
Still here in Venezuela — things are really falling apart, and our country is on the verge of becoming a failed state. Living on borrowed money (literally) despite being an oil exporter. Chavez is sick and radicalizing his “revolution,” etc., and my family split as to some who want to leave the country and some who wish to stick it out (I am one of them).
I spent two weeks in Delaware this fall and had a fantastic time with students and faculty. I wrote a note that I hope will be published in the OWU magazine.
While in Delaware, I spoke to other alumns and trustees and found out that the Phi Gams are coming back to OWU after having a similar experience to our BTP exit from OWU…and wondered why we can’t start the long road back…? I will be glad to help on two fronts, the “diplomacy and protocol” part, and also with a financial support… More later, and thanks again for your note…and to Tom for keeping us together.
Saludos, -Kai- ADV Andres Duarte
