At last, some pictures!!











A few pictures from the last few weeks. The first is my friend Scott Burge who is now back in Alberta wondering where the six months went, I'm sure. That's a classic picture of the South Sudan Police Service officer looking down the barrel of his gun. We didn't teach him that!!
The next picture is me trying to convince a Ugandan police woman, Christine Alalo, to dance the LA Walk ( a kind of line dance for pop music) with me at a transfer party (she wouldn't, I had to dance it by myself!)
The last three are from a SSPS computer class graduation ceremony, I urged them to continue their learning and accept all the help they can get from the UN Police (they are reluctant to accept our help sometimes) and I reminded them that we have Namibian and Rwandan and Bosnian police officers in our mission who not so long ago had their own UN missions rebuiliding their police services, so the SSPS turn will come someday to help rebuild other countries' police services (maybe Somolia??)

Hi Wayne,

You haven't posted anything in December. You must be quite busy. How's your health? Are you going to celebrate Christmas in Ottawa?

Nice photos by the way. Just got a Pentax K200D as a Christmas present for Lina (the only affordable sealed camera available- no sand, dust or humidity can penetrate it).

Keep well. Hoping to hear from you soon.

Hello Chris

My health is good, just getting over a cold I picked up on my CTO, probably from being cold when I got out of the pool or the see in Sharm El Sheikh.

I'm not going home to Canada at Christmas (too damn cold there), instead I'm meeting my children in Cairo for my second Family Reunion Trip.
