... then Ann Kerr invited me for lunch, smart lady for sure
Later on she organized  a trip for all Fulbrigth grantees of UCLA to Palm
Spring,
a nice resort, west of LA. We had a stop at an indigenous place. And one
lady  wanted to thank an indigenous woman who was at the shop when going
out and she kindly asked her how to say "Thank you" in her own language,
the woman replied to her that there was not such a word in her own language.
There is a song by Elton John saying that sorry is the hardest word to say,
on the contrary I think it is one of the easiest words to say. All the time
people say "sorry," or "thank you"
