This is the "Friendship of Three Generations".
The one in the middle is Pak Ric Widodo, he is the begawannya plantation in Blitar, one of the most experienced with the ins and outs of plantations in Blitar. Tonight we meet at the 2018 Blitar Agro Festival.
He first became friends with my grandfather, Pak Denny Roshadi, in the early days of 'mbabat alas' plantations in Blitar.
After my grandfather passed away, he became friends with my father (pictured left with his charming brengos). They were close friends and even had a "near death experience" together on the motorway in the mid-90s.
Now he is friends with me, who is more appropriate to be his grandson. I gained a lot of knowledge from him while leading Keboen Kopi Karanganjar, and thanks to his advice, Keboen Kopi Karanganjar can progress as it is today.
Hopefully you will always be healthy, Mr Ric, who knows you can continue to be friends with Jaga Nusantara 😉
