To the Editor:

Your article about Albert Goudelock and his family travels was a breath of fresh air. In this era of gloom and doom and negative stories it is refreshing to hear about families that share their time together.

I first met Albert when we returned to Madison in 1989. He is a delightful person with a wonderful smile and a warm spirit.  It was always a pleasure to chat with him when I had shoes or other leather goods to be mended. However, I was not aware of his travels. Being a person who has traveled around the world it has been my pleasure to know this kindred spirit. So travel on Albert– the best is yet to come!
Sincerely,

Paul Gilmore
