Successful in Different Ways

Our visits to San Diego and San Francisco were successful in different ways. In San Diego I was so happy to offer the U Thant Peace Award to my Mahasamrat (Bill Pearl). He is dearer than the dearest to me. I embarked on weightlifting with his inspiration, encouragement and most significant advice. I was very happy that he and his wife, Bhavatarini, could join us.

Then at the concert, Frank Zane,²⁶ another champion, played the harmonica for a few minutes at my request. He has made unimaginable progress in his mouth organ performance. After the concert we had a good conversation, and he offered important advice for my weightlifting.

When we came to San Francisco, there was one television station, KRON4, where the anchor was so kind, so affectionate. I lifted him and his wife as part of the “Perfect Oneness of the Sun and the Moon” series. His wife is 18 years younger than he is. He asked me if I had ever heard of anyone whose wife was so much younger. I said Pablo Casals is over 40 years older than his wife. The visit to the TV studio will be televised, and they are also showing our excellent paintings displayed in Ananda Fuara. The San Francisco concert also went well. Both places were quite successful in different, different ways.
