My family lived in Savannakhet,Laos (the town) from 1964 to about 1973. It was the summer residence for the king of Laos at the time. It had a big catholic population due to Laos being a part of the French Indochina empire. It had a diverse population of Lao, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian a few left over French and a very few of us Americans. It was a laid back lazy village along the Mekong River. Interesting times for a teenage boy.
