Small World

It truly is a small world when just the other day, my husband, Jim, and my boss at COLWOD, Sr. Jacky, realized that they had met and danced the night away some thirty years ago in Ghana! Jim was in Jirapa at the time, working hard and avoiding marriage in the late 1970s; Sr. Jacky was a young nun, teaching in Nandam. All the Church-related groups in the area were invited to a big Christmas party in Wa, the capital of the Upper Region and it was there that the two met on that festive evening long ago. Sister even recalled the color dress she was wearing; Jim said he remembered the fruitcake.
