I met Ted Bridgewater, an RV from Montreal/Calgary who had recently moved to BC at an RV potluck in Vernon. During our chat he recounted his experiences serving in San Fernando, Trinidad as an engineering teacher, and how his time there made him appreciate different views, cultures and opinions. He also noted the differences in the education system between the two countries, and how much respect he received even though his students were his own age.
Thanks for your service and for sharing your story Ted!
