Out in the cold New York weather for weeks selling frozen roses, team leader drives up in the van with a huge coat on and the heat turned up high and offers me an ice cream bar…

 In 1976 I was with The New Hope singers International in Japan. We were at a US military base in Okinawa. At rehearsal I was doing fine until we started singing ‘White Christmas’ and I had to go out into the hall and cry. Homesickness got me bad!
