They invited me to have dinner with them at Café Pisa, a pretty nice little resto-club in central Jakarta. I let Brook know,, and before you knew it, there was another Rhode Islander connection taking place!

I never knew that Rhode Islanders had such a strong connection with their home state! Seriously,,, from the sounds of it, most of them are proud to trace their family heritage back to Roger Williams,, the founder of this fine state from the 1630s. (= Brook is 13th generation Rhode Islander… They find each other on all sides of the planet & get so excited to meet fellow Rhode Islanders! Ha ha. Funny.
