Poignant memories of life in Tanzania related by Mervyn, brough tears (of joy)
to my eyes.
As a "Mwanainchi asili" (real son of the Tanzanian soil), having worked with
Mervyn's dad in a bank, and having carried Merv on my lap when he was a little
"toto" (child in Kiswahili) and having been to many of the places he writes
about, brought back happy memories. I hope Merwyn will write a book, as I am
sure he has a lot more memories to share with us all.
When Merv was a toddler, for Christmas I gave him a cowboy hat and toy pistol
and gunslingers belt. He is still taking pot shots at various people ! I am
glad that he is in
Canada and I am in Goa.
