Sadly this entry is badly water-damaged. It mentions some events in 1972, and an Egyptian millionaire I went to school with at that time, named Medhat Samaha. And a notation that I have never been to Spain, but I'm moving to California if at all possible.
[ Author’s note 2025: I never did make it to Europe in my youth.

Over the years I've tried to locate Medhat but he just seems to have disappeared. He would be in his late 80s by now.]
