Peter's Story

Mofarrij Shipping Agencies, Piraeus

Bozenna and Ted having a drink at my old 'home', the SAVOY HOTEL, in 1983 Bozenna and her husband Ted, seen here at my old "home", the Savoy Hotel, live in Athens where I met them in the early 'eighties when I lived and worked in Greece. Bozenna had answered an ad in the English language newspaper "ATHENS NEWS" in which I was looking for a "shipping person" who could do my many complex Laytime Calculations (for all you landlubbers, laytime is the period of time agreed between the parties - ship owners, charterers, cargo shippers and consignees - during which a chartered ship is available for loading / discharging without payment of additional freight.)

Ted in full flight in 1983! Here's to you, Ted! Bozenna did a wonderful job which saved my employer large sums of money and, on a personal side, she and Ted introduced me, a newcomer to Greece (I had just spent a miserable and very "dry" eighteen months in Saudi Arabia), to the many delights of Greek wining and dining. My many fond memories of Greece are entirely due to their wonderful friendship which has endured to this day!
