Gilbert -- Guardian de Jour
Aug 10 2009 at 2:44pm EDT
Gilbert was hired by the PC to guard my yard and my house every day of my service. He arrived at 6 a.m. and left when the night guard took over at 6 p.m. The threat of theft was ever-present in the CAR, but more prevalent than potential intruders was the constant stream of villagers at my gate, asking if I would buy their fresh produce, artwork, furniture, animals, etc. Without Gilbert's help, I wouldn't have been able to manage the traffic. Gilbert is pictured here with his children. He was a loving father and a loyal worker, and I think fondly of him often, wondering how he is faring today.
