| Lyn & I served in Voinjama for 2 1/2
years between Jan '71 and June '73. We both taught at Voinjama High
School. In June'73 we found out my Dad had cancer and came home
quickly, not to return until the summer of '87. Our son Jallah, was
born in December of '73. Noah was born in October '79. Noah graduated from college
in May. Jallah and his wife and year old son
live in Silverthorne Colorado where he works on a crew building log mansions. I
taught and did youth work for the first 12 years after returning.
Then I got my Masters at Antioch New England and worked for our local
Community College where I now serve as director of the Workforce
Development Institute. Lyn got an MSW, served as head of our
county Office for Aging, worked as a hospital administrator and then went
back to school in the early 90's to become a family practice Physician
Assistant. We returned to Liberia in '87 with our kids and spent six
weeks traveling in Liberia and other parts of W Africa. I also went
back four years ago with the election monitoring team. I have been very
active in Friends of Liberia and pledge to be a shameless
proselytizer on behalf of FOL just short of obnoxious. We
travel a lot and spend whatever time we can at a log cabin in the
Adirondack Mountains where we fish for trout and hike and read. |
