Never thought of myself as being "a dark horse" before, Graham ... ... but there you go!
Actually, I later bought a small portable typewriter and filled 50-odd pages of manuscript with a [somewhat embellished ] account of my adventures in the US.
Thereafter ... further down the line ... I gave the completed draft to my daughter & son-in-law to transfer onto computer (I didn't have one then!) and they, later still, very kindly, returned it to me - suitably captioned and duly bound in book form, at Christmas, 2003.
Appropriately entitled "A Little Goes A Long Way" it's now one of my most highly-prized possessions ... even though it will unlikely ever be published.
