Madrid Branch Presidency:
Eddington, Baker, Timmons, Oliveira

Valerie remembers particularly the daredevil traffic of downtown Madrid. My strongest memories have to do with the cheapness of the daredevil taxis; also dinner, Spanish-style, within shouting distance of midnight, followed by an energetic display of flamenco dancing. Shades of
Esmé.

The second trip, we stayed with the
Fotheringhams. The Oliveiras and the Fotheringhams showed us marvelous hospitality; Valerie retains a memory of José Oliveira as the stereotypical dashing Spaniard. When I ask if she’s still a little bit in love with him, after all these years, she just smiles. He appears (rightmost) at left and also (top center) here, with members of the branch over which he presided.
