A question from the last ICM

by Philipp Rodriguez (Apr 24, 2007)

Recently I got a movie shot at the last International Committee Meeting (ICM) in Dhulikhel (Nepal) in December 2006. The DVD is quiet sophisticated, showing various impressions of the Meeting, parties and amusing interviews with participants. There the participants were asked funny questions like this one: "What colour of socks, did Ceresole wear".

Ceresole cleans shoes

Ceresole cleans his boots (Almens 1926)

 

Thanks to historic pictures in SCI Archives I don't have to guess as the ICM delegates did, although on most pictures Ceresole is wearing shoes. But this picture from the 4th SCI workcamp in Almens (Switzerland) shows him cleaning them. Obviously his socks are neither black nor white - more you can't say. However this sepia photos allows us to guess the colour between black and white according to our conviction.
