1 Met Arne and his wife Elly unexpectedly during a Cancun Winter vacation in 1993.
We both were invited to an information session in a restaurant by Air Transat.
It had rained a lot the day before and streets were flooded everywhere.
We had to take off our shoes and roll up our pants above the knee to wade through water to get the restaurant.
Seated at the table surprisingly was Arne and Wife.
 We got together on many occasions for supper, we both had accommodations in a different part of town.

I recall Arne walking out of the meeting when they asked for a swimming pool on site. Arne took to chewing
Betel Nut a favorite with the locals. Has some psychoactive ingredient, one's mouth turns red, streets are coated R

We had difficulty finding a hotel room, Arne and myself were assigned the same terrible room.
We walked in and pigeons flew out of the bathroom, droppings and feathers everywhere.
That night Arne refused to use the bed with greyed sheets, he slept in a large chair.
4 Arne was tough in all respects, people on on assignment complained about the tough conditions and the meager
field allowance they got, Arne would not give in to their demands. Shortly after the RCA Eng and Scientists Associa
was formed/Certified. Abe Bell and myself with a few others pioneered the association formation.
