At this time Ted is working in England, with plans to soon return to Guyana to live, so for current visitors Louraine is the main host, the one who keeps the rainforest camp going and assigns day-guides to each visitor. Below are sections of e-mails from Ted telling about himself and Louraine in his own laconic, military-man manner:
