Old Friends and New in El Salvador

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, 19 September 2014 — The last night of my five-day journey to El Salvador certainly was the most gratifying.

Not only did I have the opportunity to meet old friends and colleagues that I haven’t seen since last working there in 1990, but I had the extraordinary honor of meeting and sharing with a new generation of Salvadoran journalists.

Pictured with me here is Luis “La Muneca,” Romero, who might be considered the Honorary Dean of the Salvadoran Press Corps.
