Meet Stebbin

Ba Stebbin is one of worlds best story tellers! He kept the back seat riders entertained while we travelled out to the field work. His latest story involves a man coming to deliver a letter to Stebbin's office. But when he found no one there, he brought it to the door of Julie's house. According to Sebbin this man was smitten! He found Stebbin and talked more about "the beautiful woman at that house" than he talked about the letter he was trying to deliver to Stebbin!

Stebbin is a pump mender. He goes out and helps people repair pumps in the villages. This particular pump has been in place for awhile and needed a new "apron." So Stebbin was the foreman for the afternoon.

At the job site he gave a few instructions regarding the ratio of stones to cement and river sand.

He surveyed the work several times (he is the one with the white ball cap)

But he mostly just monitored the work from that table in the background.

Here he is helping with the finishing touches.

p.s. Julie and Heather point out that Stebbin "never" tucks in his shirt!
