Winnie and her brother Vincent are my friends from the University of the Philipppines (UP) Math Club. Vincent now lives in the Bay Area (San Ramon) and I see him at least twice a year. Meanwhile, Winnie lives in San Antonio, and I haven't seen her since I left UP in 1972. She hadn't come to the Bay Area in the past 3 years, but suddenly had to come pay her cancer-stricken friend in San Francisco a visit last January.
Though I really wanted to see Winnie, I didn't think it was possible this time. It was because I was leaving for Las Vegas on the morning after her arrival. But, thank goodness, Vincent drove her straight from the Oakland airport to a restaurant here in Union City.
It was good catching up with Winnie. I gave her and Vincent the UP T-shirts that Marvin sent through me. I also asked Winnie to take a T-shirt to give to Dulce Ramos whom she was planning to see that weekend.
