http://www.thisamericanlife.orgMy Pen Pal. Sarah York, from Northern Michigan, became General Manuel Noriega's pen pal in 1988. Here she is with the General, greeting crowds of Panamanians on a visit to Panama City when she was 11. They're pictured at right. The building behind them, the Panamanian Defense Forces Headquarters, was later destroyed in "Operation Just Cause," the U.S invasion of Panama, in 1989. Stories of very unusual pen pals, this week. Broadcast in most places the weekend of September 12-14, or available here next week via RealAudio.
