Truth be told (a good idea usually), my 'I' was written as it happened and is transcribed in retrospect. I am back home now, thank God.

A Moment Engraved In The Mind:

A man and his wife enter the gate leading to the community pool. I am in the water swimming laps. The man wears a long terry robe, white tee shirt, long shorts, water shoes, and broad brimmed straw hat. The woman is dressed in bathing suit, long robe, hat and shoes. The couple is very old and the smell of their zinc sunscreen proceeds them. The man carries a tape player. He walks to the edge of the pool, places it down and covers it with a face towel. He takes off his terry robe, turns on the tape player - ups the volume - and there he is, back in the day, with Glen Miller.
