“Memories are made of this”

At our recent Vancouver alumni event held in August, Fred and Carol Turner told me an intriguing story of their 1971 journey from Canada to Cape Town and across Africa in a 1966 Mustang – a car which they still own.

23,000 miles

239 days

3 continents

13 countries

4 ocean legs

(Carol and Fred with Dean of Health Sciences, Assoc. Prof. Lionel Green-Thompson)

Fred has sent this YouTube link to their adventure and a nostalgic video of their trip in the ‘pony car’. What a journey!
