Eket....an interesting place that I found much better in all regards as compared to Shell/Port Harcourt! It could be fun as there were colorful people to associate with after work.
Stacy can recall the evening at an upstairs Bar where I, for the first time ever, got to watch the "Wizard of Oz" from beginning to end.
The fishing offshore with Stacy and his partner in crime who was the very meek Casper Milk Toast kind of guy we all called "Basil".
Then there was Hyphen Smyth who was seen in a chain gang by a visiting Director as he was driven through town by the Managing Pilot.
There was always fun to be had with the Royal Navy Twins....Art and Paul. Art arrived in the Bar one night having crashed on his motorbike looking like someone had taken an Angle Grinder and Cricket Bat to him....only to continue with his drinking.
The Parrot was the Man....who had accurately described Murdoch as being a ******!
Ah....yes....the good old days of life at Eket on the downtown airstrip!
We are all better Men for the experience.
