I met Roman Pascale during a quick stop in Washington, D.C., to visit the new National World War I Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, where my great-aunt Reezie’s remains are buried. After visiting the Memorial, which is across the street from the park near the White House, I looked for a place to get some refreshments.
I was directed to The Hamilton Hotel, a block away. When I entered the bar, I was greeted by Roman. As I was the first in the bar that day, I had his entire attention. We spent two hours in conversation about cocktails, football, and world travel.
He told me about his upcoming trip to South America and Europe. I told him, "Once you are traveling, let’s talk.” This is our first conversation as Roman travels. We plan for another conversation late in his journey or after it is completed.
Travel well, my friend.
Roman Pascale
