Clem seems to interchange Dad and Granddad but maybe it's just me. He was brought up in the Johnson cult, i.e. President Lyndon B. Johnson. A local man still collects taxes to fund the installation of LBJ as president of New Hanover. Clem's Dad is still part of the cult and is now 79 years old. He still climbs coconut trees and is as spritely as a 16-year-old. He was a child during the war. My impression after talking to him is that there's more to the cult than an outsider could understand. We westerners have learnt to take everything so literally - not so here.
Clem considers himself Christian and believes in God. I'm not sure if he holds to traditional beliefs like other people here. His Granddad was still involved in sailing large canoes on raiding expeditions which also involved eating their conquered victims.
I've just been snorkelling on the Sanko Maru wreck but unfortunately have major pain from the sinus above my left eye. I hope it doesn't ruin the diving. Luckily I'm not on a set schedule.
