Fathers Day

The girls are all visiting family or friends of the home. At St. Paul's we had a wonderful and typically Panamian celebration. We honered 4 men who have been fathers in the church for many years but who are elderly. Cecil Haynes worked for the Panama canal for so many years that he received special recognition from President Clinton for being the person who work for the US Federal Government for the longest time. He is 93 now and still going strong.

One of the other honorees, now blind, used to play his harmonica at church for peoples birthdays and special days. He gave use to nice harmonica renditions.

The girls will return tomorrow morning.
