Walung wasn't that bad hu Mr. Anderson? Well I have several questions I'd like to ask you: How many years did you actually spent in Walung? What was your local name when you were in Walung or Kosrae? Who did you stay with? and lastly, to these days, do you still remember any names of people whom you were hung out with in Walung or Kosrae?

I am currently living in Washingston State in Seattle area but I was raised in Walung. My contact number is 206-429-3164 or email me back on my email addy below.

thank you Mr. Anderson in advance for your time and cooperation on this little questionaire.

thanks kindly,

Ron Taulung
