Dear Friends,
I took just a few photos in downtown Iraklion (Heraklion) the other day. They are probably in stark contrast to what you remember. I'm new to this - so bear with me. Ha. Ha. Remember, I was not raised in the computer age! When my son was a little boy, he once asked me, "Dad, what did you used to do for fun in the "olden" days when you were a little boy?" "Well, son," I replied, "after dinner we used to sit around the fire in the cave and draw pictures on the wall". That should illustrate just how far removed I am from the computer age...like I said, bear with me! Ha. Ha.
Top Left: Errik Grimm, son of the late Helmut Grimm, in front of his father's jewelry and gift shop at Lions Square. Top right: A little street girl plays her accordian in Lions Square for money.
I will try to post additional photos later. Right now, my battery tells me that I had better close or else lose what I am working on. So, until later...
...Take care, stay well, and let me hear from you.
Your Friend and Fellow "Silent Warrior",
Bob (Midget) Armistead
