Joe,
Thanks for posting. Brought back wonderful memories. I spent almost a half
a year in Ghana (Accra & Tema) back in 1976. Most peace loving people I
have ever met. At the time the murder rate was 3 people per year out of a
population of 10± million. Oakland, CA had 3 people per night!!

The old gal that was a 100 yrs. plus. This is a country that loves and
reveres their old people. They don't warehouse them like we do in the USA.
Families take care of each other. Note that many people don't know their
exact age and don't seem to care. If you ask an 'old-man' (BTW, a title
with great respect) how old he is, he will tell you that he was born under
their ruler ship of .......? What a wonderful concept, it doesn't matter
how old you are.

Joe, God bless you for the work you and your congregation are doing.

As some of you might know, I just took a trip to Ghana, Africa.

Spent some time looking for metalworking machinery and services and
basically found that unless you are in the city, the metalworking they do
is limited to cutting brake rotors, banging out vehicle fenders, etc.

Quite a trip. Here are some photos... None of which are metalworking
related except for maybe the corrugated roofs.
