Justin Whittaker joined me in 2005 on the Ivorian leg of my journey. He was working on a film about African farmers. Judging from this picture, I predict that Justin will be a good father. (Batteguedea, Côte d'Ivoire, 2005)

Dale Landis joined me in 2006 for the Ivorian leg of my journey. He was a retired housebuilder, and wanted to see Africa. After leaving me, he flew to Kenya and did the safari thing. His pictures are extraordinary. Depa, Côte d'Ivoire, 2006.

Stan Thompson overlooks Cape Coast Castle ramparts, pondering the heaviness of colonial aspirations. Stan heard about my trips and wanted to come along. At the time, he was a photo-journalist for a newspaper based in Morro Bay. Stan was the perfect traveler: warm, engaged, and optimistic. He died one month after getting back from the trip, age 70. I miss him and his optimism. Cape Coast, Ghana, 2007. A roof was put on a school in Dawayo-Chantier, Cote d'Ivoire in Stan's name. See "Donations--School Roofs"
