Is Lothar home?
Fascinating! My Father spent a year in Papua New Guinea during WWII while in the Army Air Corps and always wanted to return. He took me to see “The Sky Above, Mud Below” in the theater back in 1960 or so. He was actually planning a trip back there in the late 1980s when a heart attack took him from us.
Really liked that Lidia lived. Poor people, but as for their promise:
“We, the Meakambut people, will give up hunting and always moving and living in the mountain caves if the government will give us a health clinic and a school, and two shovels and two axes, so we can build homes.”
they can go on into the 21st century and not go the way of the dinosaur.
I was fortunate enough to work in the highlands of PNG. It is without a doubt the most fascinating place I have been on all the seven continents.
I wish I could go back there and a whole bunch of other places!
Interesting read. Thanks!
