Friday July 11. A Reunion Lunch

The morning was spent gathering the remaining items needed for and preparing lunch for some friends Dave met many trips ago.  Augustine Pierce (one of the CRC’s first bus drivers) and his wife Tennah, and Patrick Gibrilla, the remaining limb fitting engineer.  Patrick’s wife Margaret was in Freetown celebrating her granddaughter’s graduation from primary school.  We had French fries, chicken, and…popcorn!  Dave also has a new favorite drink: ginger “beer”!  It was so good to catch up and introduce Alaina to friends she has heard about for most of her life.  One special member Dave has spent a lot of time working with was Lappia Amara, the primary limb fitting engineer who passed away about two years ago after falling through his ceiling and striking his head on a table while trying to figure out how a robber was passing from one side of the house into the other.  We reminisced and talked about our memories together before calling it a day.
