Don and his wives
Conan (in the back), Don, Ann, Linda and I went through training together. We were all teachers in different villages. Linda and I were in the same village. Don had a great house near the coast and was a wonderful host, so we visited him a lot. As a result, we were considered to be his wives.

Good friends
One of my dissappointments in Togo was that I didn't get to live in a mud hut. There was a cement factory in Tabligbo that had been built by the Swiss (I think). They had also built several housing developments for the workers. The housing was not filled, so we were lodged there. I had a very nice three bedroom villa with running water and a kitchen, but not much furniture. These are volunteers plus our friend Sim (Ghanaian).
