Here’s Gabrielle Gozzo from Venice, Italy - who I met at the Greyhound bus terminal in Buffalo, NY circa 1975. I noticed his sign and upon inquiring he said he was hitch-hiking to NYC. Remembering all the kind folks who gave me a ride from Orlando, FLA to San Diego, CA a couple of years before when I hitch-hiked, I called home and asked my folks if I could bring Gabrielle home for a home cooked meal, shower, and place to bunk for the night.
My folks, being the great people they were, said if I felt he was safe then “sure”. So, I brought Gabrielle home (can’t remember if it was for a day or two or three) and shared music and road stories.
Anyway, we stayed pen pals for awhile but like so many things in life, our correspondence drifted apart. Hey Gabrielle, if you see this…drop me a line! :-)
