Seeing the other side of Papa Dar doing what he does when he ain;t stealing comfort on the soft seat in Paul's shop is always a moment not to be missed. The fact that the community around that area is so tight knit, makes wanting to move there more inticing. As you said in the vid, everybody knows everybody, and everyone helps when needed is so rare these days..Full respect to all who assisted in the recovery, and thanks to all for capturing a story to be told for years to come.
