Listen to Radio stations from around the world!!!

I'll have to check that one out Ken, FYI, tonights GFS computer model runs has a total snowmaggedon in Portland, starting on thursday (later tonight the Euro model will likely poo poo that), but we're going coastal this weekend, so decided to leave a day early (it gave Cornholio 2" of ice in one run, and 8" of snow in another, doubt either will happen, but...)

My brother was a pre-med student at Stanford.  Jane Goodall was one of his teachers, and he was working for her doing research in East Africa.  Some Zaire nationalists crossed lake Tanganyika and kidnapped several in the group.  My brother escaped into the jungle and was safe.  Later hostages were returned for $, nobody was hurt...   if I recall, Jane freaked out a bit, and her telegraphs to the family were nonsensical, so he ended up rewriting them and sending them out.  

My brothers hut mate had his corduroy coat on when he was kidnapped.  The following year he got it back just before the Olympics,turns out there was a tiny deck of playing cards made out of a ransom note in one of the pockets (the family put it together like a jigsaw puzzle during the games).  

Meanwhile, the family freaked a little bit during the time where we didn't know what was going on.  Turns out flying to Europe was quite expensive back then, but once there, you could go anywhere for dirt cheap.  My brother had bicycled across Europe in 72, and had made several friends, plus we had family friends in Paris from my dads days working in Viet Nam (we lived in Hong Kong in 67 / 68).  So off to Europe we went (mom, sis, myself), then to Africa.  Spent some time in Nairobi and Mombasa, along with doing a week(?) long safari, checking out all the great places in the Serengeti, meeting Masai Indians, etc.  Many stories from our time there! 

Entebbe happened to be our first plane stop when we left, then another week in Europe visiting friends and seeing the sights (primarily Paris and London).  Got to see President Kenyattas waving arm while in Mombasa (the motorcyclists kicked all the bicyclists off their bikes that didn't stand at attention to the motorcade), and Queen Elizabeths waving arm while in London (our friend took us to a lunch spot there that had the prime minister and several heads of state eating there).  Again, many stories!
