Our fearless leader

This is Com (you know, like the internet. www.com). This guy was amazing. Always had a smile, and a thing or two to say about whatever plant we happened to see. He is originally from Burma, was once a monk (but decided that he wanted "boom-boom" again, so he became a teacher. Of Buddhist teachings. To prisoners. Now he is a tour guide. Seems like an obvious career path to me.
