The Bucks interview Frank J. Young,  a retired career foreign service officer who wrote a book about his sophomore year in college spent in India. The title is
47 Aerogrammes - A Passage Through India 1969-1970.  It is a beautiful coming-of-age story about his experiences, his learnings, the wonderful people he met at every turn, and immersion in a foreign culture in ways that shaped the person he would become. You can buy a copy at the usual places: Amazon, or Barnes & Noble,   or Walmart.  You can also order it from your local bookseller. We got ours from Bookstore 1 in Sarasota, FL.  You won't be disappointed.

Next week we interview a gentleman formerly of Moscow who will share his experiences living in Putin's Russia and how he eventually realized he could not live there anymore.

PS-Frank has a couple favorite books to recommend but they  fell through the cracks in the multiverse.  Here they are:

Lessons from the Edge by Marie Yovanovich

White Tiger by Aravind Adiga

Hero of the Empire by Candice Millard
