     The AFRICAN ADVENTURES section of web pages contains the KENYA KORNER LIST (a protected list of email contacts where former East Africa residents can search for lost friends). It also contains farm maps, old photographs, a booklist, plus links to other East African websites and to excerpts and reviews of author Gordon Mumford's books about East Africa.
     Gordon Mumford was twenty-three when he went to Kenya in 1949 as an Assistant Engineer with the East African Posts & Telecommunications Administration. His work took him on safari to remote areas, ranging from deserts to mountains and coastal plains. He was involved in the survey and construction of the VHF radio-repeater routes, which modernized long distance telecommunciations in East Africa, and opened the way to broadband and other innovations.
     In 1958, Gordon went to Canada where he obtained his teaching qualifications, returning for a further twenty years (1961-81) to teach on technical aid projects in: Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia. Later, the family returned to Canada, and moved to British Columbia where Gordon worked for Communications Canada (Pacific Region) 1981-90, taking leave of absence to set up training courses for the Bukit-Asam project in Indonesia (1986/87).
