Jeff, Totally enjoyed these 4 stories! These stories are what I enjoyed on our drive to monthly meetings. I wished you had told us what goods were in the other big boxes that customs didn’t inspect after looking at empty pill bottles & sewing kits.
Fun stories and reality that only Congo alumni will fully appreciate!
Hi Jeff…once again such unique stories…they brought some smiles too…Merle remembers bringing those containers across…he really appreciated all your help…
Jeff,
I now know how to hypnotize a chicken but I will first have to learn how to hold a chicken and get its beak to the ground. I only know reptiles. Kevin’s music at first sounded like an amplified Kalimba….pretty cool….had an African flavor to it.
Jeff, I heard about your podcast from Craig W. I too have a customs story, it involved “cokes” and a solar powered calculator.
I have lots of memories from Congo even one or two about you.
We should talk sometime.
