Salwa - a long, exciting life together. Meeting on the Silk Road trip in 2011, Tom L. certainly felt he met a "soul mate" in Bob. I kept wanting to get Bob's wisdom on cryptocurrency - the 21st century chapter of Bob's wild '70's foreign currency ride. Thankfully your kids also are grown, your granddaughters - mature enough to have known their granddad. Really wonderful that his story is captured well in "Riches Among the Ruins"...which if a new friend asked him about it, Bob would always...
