Fine Piece of Writing

One of the finest pieces of writing that has graced the Travel Section in many years is the one under Vacation Memories Sept. 13. “When father and son shared a walk along the steep cliffs of life,” by William C. Brisick, brought back vivid memories of 1974 when my wife, who recently passed away, and I shared a small apartment in Rapallo, which we used as a base for many sorties in our camper. We traveled to various parts of Europe and North Africa, from Copenhagen to Fez, and from Edinburgh to Budapest.

I was particularly touched by the conclusion of the article, as I could empathize with the writer due to my recent loss. I do hope that Brisick will again have occasion to share a vacation memory with us.
