Besides being his first real international adventure, Afghanistan was special for several other reasons: he met his wife Vonda, they married and had three children. Although the family was living in Kabul, Justin was actually born in Karachi, Pakistan because there were no suitable medical facilities at the time in Afghanistan. We're talking 1960!
Below are random photos from the Afghanistan era.

| Bill was never into football...but attended local games like buzkashi |

 |
| Bill started his own decorative brick factory -- a product in use |

| Afghanistan is cold, very cold. |
Dad arranged for a trip to Khasmir for his honeymoon. The first night of their honeymoon was spent en route to Khasmir. They took a photo of the accommodations. Lovely start to an adventurous life together.
 |
| Yep...Indeed the newlywed's first night's accommodations |
Once they got to Khasmir, accommodations took a turn for the better. They stayed on an elaborate houseboat -- outfitted with fine china and fancy furniture.
