1964 earthquake turns tidal wave , southcentral Alaska,

A friend of ours, ex senator, world traveler, remembers:

“Now how can I make money out of this?” he’d said, he’d did. 

As my Joseph catches my eye, silent in this conversation,

“Now how can I help?”, he’d have said, he’d have done. 

In partners I chose well, thinks I.
