Deuteronomy 10:14 “To the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it."
From Bob Black: “There are lots of memories and incidents. I guess the most significant was Alex Pacis organizing a golf tournament and Alex playing matchmaker by arranging for Sue and I to be the only members in one group. That was the start of now more than 40 happy years together.”
Bob worked in the EI Home office from 1979-1993. His positions varied: Canadian Administrator, Overseas Director, Associate to International Director. Bob recounts: “One funny incident that I think of was John McQuarrie came into the centre after doing his laundry and set it down inside the door. At the same time there was a team leaving for Brazil with all their baggage and his laundry got shipped to Brazil. On that same trip to Brazil when customs asked what was in the bags, one of the team members, wanting to show off the little Portuguese they had learned wanted to say there were tents in the bag but instead said they were full of cockroaches. The words are similar for tents and cockroaches. (Barraca - Tent and Barata- Cockroach.) You can imagine the look on the customs official’s face! It was really an amazing time and set in motion a life-long mission of charitable work.”
