Guanajuato, Mx

we are now in Guanajuato, sister city to Ashland,
and staying at a lovely hotel owned by a former student of Ron's,
Dennis Pekus.  He was a senior at the Rim of the World High School
in Lake Arrowhead, California, where Ron was teaching 1963-64.
Dennis played Professor Higgins in Shaw's play, Pygmalion, and
Helen Keller's brother in The Miracle Worker.
Ron and Dennis found each other after all those years, guess where....
