Back to then and to my Uncle Gab, the centre piece of this story. Uncle Gab was about 32, tall, slim built, fair complexioned, and actually very handsome. He was loved by all but also the one everyone complained and worried about the most. He was troublesome, not necessarily quarrelsome, he dropped out of school, and early in life, went into trucking where he made real good money.

At that point in time he had a Land Rover Jeep with which he did his business trucking people, but mainly goods from the hinterland to the city.
