General Information:
Norden - Back in Africa [after WW1] he became a small landowner, but the garage business is the work of his heart. Apparently there is no road he does not know; no car he cannot mend; no weather that will keep him indoors. And, like myself, no drink that he will refuse after sundown. Irish, of course; that nationality may be taken for granted in Kenya unless definite statement to the contrary is made.
