You didn't, I have written a reply in this .REP packet to You, but been busy.
I wanted to catch up reading another .QWK I got before kicking that

Thank You.

When I was in the Navy I sometimes would listen to a Portable AM Radio
when the Ship was in Port over seas but I didn't understand what was said.

I learned how to say Hello to people living in the Phillipine Islands and
Japan so I could greet them in their own language.

I learned a few more Japanese words but not enough to carry on a
conversation with them.

A Shipmate born in Chinatown, San Francisco, California told me just to
nod my head and grunt when I met people in Hong Kong instead of saying
a word to greet them.

Pardon Me if I caused You any concern in delaying my replies to You.
