of a gun blowing reveille at 0500 hrs.” Then looking at the plate of steak and eggs set before him he added, “Now that's what I call a really great improvement over Army chow. If I had known we were going to have a Texas breakfast I would have made it my business to be here at 0800 hours.”

“I asked Rich what you usually liked for breakfast and it was either this or 'Eggs in a Hole'. Since you had that the last time you were here, I thought I would try this. I hope I made it right?”

Every thing was cooked just perfect and to Joseph's taste. The steak was cooked medium rare, the eggs runny and the home fries were on the brown side. He wolfed everything down. The coffee was strong but not bitter. Everything was wonderful, and both Rich and Joseph complimented Sarah.

“Well I'm sure that it's not as good as the food you had at the Cafe Casablanca, but at least here you did not have to dance for it here.” Sarah joked.

“Speaking of eating and dancing, Fazzi has suggested that a party of some kind be arranged to celebrate the inauguration of the fund. He thinks it may attract even more additional investors as well as be a good public relations gimmick.” Joseph said. “Besides, among the Arabs, it's a sort of cultural thing to celebrate the closing of a deal with coffee and sweets. Many times in the bazaars after a long hard bargaining session the shop owner will serve coffee and something sweet to close the deal.”

“That is a great idea-however let's not do the formal thing, but rather keep it informal something like a big block party. Wait a minute, how does this hit you? Let's do an American version of that Arab custom. We can have booths, several stages and bands for entertainment; something like those mid-eastern open bazaars, something to bring out the population in order to get them interested and perhaps to invest.” Richard senior said and smiled rather wickedly.

“Yes! And if Fazzi could get those belly dancers to perform, I'm sure that would please the population, to say nothing of you and Joseph.” Sarah said and turning to Rich she added, “Your father has not stopped talking about that night yet. And I would like to see that lady and maybe have a male belly dancer as well.”

“A block gathering might not be a bad idea.” Rich said. “Something on the order of that Italian Saints day festival, they hold in Little Italy every year. The one that draws thousands of people. Lots of people go and most of them are not even Italians. It could create good public relations and if there is anyone that needs good public relations these days-it's the Moslem Community.”

“It's a fantastic idea. I'll talk to Fazzi and see what can be arranged.” Joseph said. “You know that he expects you and Sarah to be there.”

“What about Rich? Do you think it would be a good idea for him to come also?” Asked Sarah.

“He already has extended an invitation to Rich and wants to meet the actor. Joseph said “but…”

“I do not think that is such a good idea.” Rich said angrily. “I don't think I could control my emotions seeing Joseph and him together. I might just blow the whole thing.”

“Come now Rich. You're too
