I saw some of those people in your FaceBook album, Tom. You’re right, there’re some great beauties amongst them.
BTW, I hope to build the Kokrobitey seminars into a series of workshops in several different places. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to figure out how and where to do a similar workshop in Australia? U got any ideas?

Rob, after visiting Vanuatu for the second time I completely understand the need for indiginious people to protect and nurture their heritage. They are beginning to do this there, and in the procress share with us some of their traditional ways, lessons we could take lots from, medicine, food and shelter just to name three. I found a great deal we could learn from their more ‘simple’ ways. Also, I noticed that they were much healthier than us, strong white teeth from no junk food. Absolutely lovely people.

And respond, I will. Been doing some reading and photo-touring of Ghana’s architecture. I’m becoming very eager.

Rob, this will be a magical collaboration! I can’t wait to hear how you respond to the aesthetics of Ghana (so many peoples and histories) — doing exactly as you say, working with the materials at hand to create beauty, strength, and functionality. Bringing ergonomics and a Western sensibility to the process there should be exciting…. and may yield some much more comfortable seating!

I lived in the LA area for 25 years, and have considered moving back, but can’t afford to live there. Their real estate taxes are 1.2% of the house sales price. Do the math…ouch…..
