Visiting Ethiopia after 35 years. It all started around 2007, thanks to internet, I managed to locate Gabriela Tardio, my classmate and then more and more classmates and fellow students from the school were located. During one of my talks with Gabriela we discussed about meeting and we thought of the idea of meeting at our school. Gabriela then began floating the idea to all the school ex-students who would like to attend a school reunion.
Now I have to thank Gabriela and the reunion conceived which allowed me and also my wife, Alpana, to visit Addis Ababa again. It was very emotional for me, having grown up here, made so many good friends, like Negash Teklu Desta and meeting them again.
Visiting Akaki the place where my father worked and where we stayed, visiting the school, our favorite places in Addis Ababa and meeting classmates and my favorite teachers, Mrs & Mr. Rispin was a dream cum true for me.
