This was all new to me, recently appointed minister and my first state visit, still donning a clean shave, necktie, with no gray hair, and ignorant to the rules diplomatic protocol. As we looked back, naturally, everyone was looking for our guy, we wanted to be in the photo, be a part of history. He belonged to the people’s party, and he enjoyed the people’s work. I remember him once chastising a younger photographer about “when they send you to do the people’s work, you better do it. In spite of it all, he was ready for the camera, although most times, he was the one behind it.
