July 4th might have been Indepedance Day for the US but in Port Durnford it was Engagement Day for James Machaka – the president of the Port Durnford Branch. He is the tall handsome man on the left in the first picture. We did not get a picture of the bride to be because by the time we had to leave she was not dressed for the occasion. The next picture is sister Joyce and friend. The party was held at her home – she was acting like the mother of groom. The guests are shown waiting in the tent for the program to start. I had to show one of the men getting a haircut and shave so he would look good for the party. The clippers kept stopping and a substitute pair did no better. It seemed for a while that he would have a very unusual hair style for the day but they finally got a pair that allowed him to complete the job.
