Regular shipments go to Sweden, Holland, Belgium, the United Kingdom and larger shipments go to regular customers in West Germany. Shipments to France tend to be somewhat irregular and sporadic. Small shipments go to Johannesburg, South Africa at times. So, there are quite a few countries you ship fishes to either on a regular or occasional basis. For a few years Malawi has had a greatly improved telephone linkage established in Blantyre.

In Malawi the main language is Chichewa, which I, perhaps, speak better than most Europeans. I can also speak Chitumbuka, the language of the northern part of Malawi. In 1958, after having completed National Service in the Royal Air Force where I was stationed in Cyprus, I applied for a post in what was then Nyasaland and took up an appointment with the Nyasaland Government. Here I was working in various stations for fourteen years as an accountant, office manager and personnel officer. I had done some work with killifishes of the genus Nothobranchius that are found in Malawi, and had sent these to the American Killifish Association.
