I ALWAYS called him "Traveler." I shall therefore refer to him simply as "Traveler," and not by his real name. It is not because I consider it more discreet, but it is because I find it more natural that I do so. Whenever the memory of him comes back to me now, I find that I think of him as "Traveler" still. And with pen in hand, I cannot bring myself to write of him in any other way.
