The Big Event

When we arrived we walked down a long carpeted corridor, with guards all dressed in white. The receiving line had Waffie's (the boy in the picture is a senior at ASOY) father and some of his close personnel. We shook hands, bowed a bit and said, Bon Souir, as we entered. I forgot about women not pumping the arm during the hand shake and got stiff-wristed. In the photo- Pete, Meredith, Waffie, Marrianne, and Nanci. His father invited the whole staff. I would say there were over 300 people, almost all African, maybe a dozen Saudi Arabians, and maybe 50 expatriots. Waffie does not dress like that at school, just formal occasions.
