A true...

...gentleman...

...to the last crease

Canadian geologist, Dr Williamson, geologist, discoverer of diamonds and city father of Mwadui, against the blue East African sky.

When I walk through the Memorial Garden beyond our home here in Mwadui, I always stop and "greet" Dr Williamson. Being a true gentleman, he - in turn - removes his hat, dips his head slightly and returns the greeting! Then he poses while I take photos for posterity.
