    Good suggestion, Keith. I frequently see Price in one of my regular gatherings, and will ask him the next time I see him. He is a CL member but doesn't check in frequently. I'll ask him to put his thoughts regarding the milk industry here on CL.

    We are approaching one month since his disappearance. Is there any additional news to report? Progress of any kind?

    Going further back in history, I find the production costs for milk in Chiriqui Province for year 2012 to be $0.51/liter, whereas the milk producer was paid only $0.49/liter. Wouldn't free enterprise principles fix this unsustainable imbalance without governmental intervention? Am I missing the big picture here?

    A bit more research turns up an article from June 2015 (see below link) that says Panama produces only 46% of its milk. The remainder has to be imported. One reason given for the shortfall is lack of good water. The cows have less water to drink. I also read that Panama implemented a milk production subsidy of $0.10 per liter of milk produced. That subsidy began in September 2015 and is scheduled to terminate in December 2016. For more details, visit http://www.centralamericadata.com/en/article/home/Will_Panama_Have_to_Import_More_Milk

    My commentary here: my initial reaction when reading this article was "you gotta be kidding". But alas, it appears that they are serious. If I am reading this correctly, Panama produces approximately only 50% of the milk that it consumes. Wow. http://www.centralamericadata.com/en/article/main/Milk_Shortage_in_Panama

    I know this is late information, but I do like "closure" on things. http://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/over-60-of-stranded-cubans-have-reached-mexico

    Maybe no revelation, but there certainly is a revealing. I just could not resist.

    I seem to recall that Bob's emergency communications services last were during the big flood of November 2008 (at least I think it was 2008, but it might have been 2007). I still miss my conversations with him, and Anita. I believe it is now a bit more than three years since Bob made his transition. P.S., Bud says he's 'on' for a hug when we next see each other.

    There is a monthly gathering of the known ham radio operators including XYLs (wives for the uninitiated). Hazel Bowling is the manager/scheduler for those meetings. These typically are the first Saturday of each month, starting at 8:30am. They are breakfast gatherings, recently at either Mike's Global Grill or the Boquete Sandwich place. For details, contact Hazel. She is a member here on CL, and her Display Name is "Hazel Bowling". Just send her a private message here on CL.
