Back to Belize

Summer 1960

We enjoyed a couple of years with Florida friends before new business opportunities called us back to Belize. Bucher was to take over operation of a fish- and seafood-processing plant that would export frozen products to the States. The children were as excited as Bucher and I about returning to our beloved, backward, little British enclave in Central America.

Bucher took Alex and went on ahead to find a house, then Carli and I followed.

Almost the first move Bucher made when he returned was to look up Concie and ask her to come back to work for us. She agreed and was busy settling the house when Carli and I arrived. Concie was a bright, quick young woman, above average in many ways, and furthermore she knew us, remembered our ways, and was willing to adopt them. We all were delighted to have her with us.
