Andre The Giant was a dear friend of Marti and I as we often traveled throughout Japan traveling on the Japanese bus with Andre, Marti and I being the only foreigners on the bus. Each day, a case of Beaujolais Wine was provided daily for Andre at the front of the bus. Andre was "Boss of the Japanese Bus."
