BUD AND JULIE-FUN FRIENDS IN VEGAS

Bud Kuball, a Korean War fighter pilot, and a retired career pilot for TWA, traveled to the Panama Canal and back in his motor home with Jim in 2004. Julie flew back and forth to join them several times during that 343 day trip, but not for lack of an adventurous spirit. Julie had some health problems at the time and couldn't stay for long periods on the rough roads.
We joined them for cocktails and conversation for an afternoon with other friends of their's and didn't even think about taking pictures until just before time to leave. Julie, who weighs 96 pounds, is small and mighty. She likes to direct things. "No, you can't take the picture THAT way. We have to pose."

No, Jim, not like that...

Like this:

Bud, at 82, likes to ski and write. He publishes pieces for the TWA magazine about his world adventures, which are many. He sends them to Jim where ever he is on the road.

Their adventures in Panama have been captured in Jim's book, which is available at: http://www.lulu.com/panamaorbust
