I was approximately 16 years old when I first met Dr Carleton Gajdusek in Wanitabi village, situated south of Okapa in the Eastern Highlands Province. I worked with Shirley Lindenbaum when she came to live in our village, and I helped Michael Alpers with his research, I was asked to work as a translator, also to assist with the fieldwork and carry personal things like camera, books and film. The older men carried the heavy boxes from one village to another on kuru surveillance patrols.
