Male Female

Well, I really remember this took place during a conference held at our university. As far as I can recall, a lot of people showed up, and besides outstanding professors and leading authorities, a large number of students from other universities participated in that event. If I'm not mistaken, on the first day of the conference, after one of the presentations, I had a question, but my question was asked by one of the guest students before me. So during the break, I found him and struck up a conversation about that subject. So I can say this question led to an opportunity to become acquainted with one of the most intimate friends in my life. His name is Kevan. If my memory serves me right, he had lost the chance to get a free room that was provided by the university. So I invited him to my place, and during the conference he stayed at my place. So I found him to be someone who had a lot in common with me. In our master's program, we became classmates and also roommates. So since then, for around 20 years, we have participated in a lot of field archaeology projects together. I suppose what set him apart from others was his loyalty, and I should admit he's fully on the same wavelength.
