Hello, I was born and raised in Fissebu, Liberia. I am a beneficiary of the Peace Corps effort in Fissebu, Liberia. I remember Jim Newman and Lloyd ( a tall slender man, can't remember his last name). In 1964, Philip Yocum was my teacher in the 4th grade at Sumo Kota Public school.

I now live in Detroit, Michigan, and visited Fissebu in July/august this year. Please forward my mail to any of these wonderful persons.
