| Comments: | My father, Bernt Lennquist, one of the "old-timers" of LAMCO, passed away on November 26th, 2007. I know that he would have liked to have his ashes spread over Liberian soil, but unfortunately that wasn't possible. However, his heart and soul will forever belong to Liberia. We miss him terribly. |

| Comments: | Just want to extend my thanks and appreciation to Heidi for being so far sighted. What a wonderful job she had done with this site. As I read through many of those entrences in the guest book, and looking at those photos, a wave of sadness came over me. I felt that the pleasure of by gone days have come. Though most of us may have left Yekepa/Buchana awhile ago, and our livies have taken it's due course, it's beautify to know that we all have onething in common, the love and memories of our beloved LAMCO-Yekepa/Buchana. I love you all.let's keep the spirit alive. Feel free to contact anytime. Heidi, thanks so much. You are the best. |

| Comments: | We went to Liberia in July/August 1971 to spend time with my husband's family at ENI Mission, Sinoe County led by Augustus B. Marwieh) and to be married on Aug. 5th. President Tubman had just died in London and the whole airport was draped in black & the streets were in an uproar! It was a 13 hr. car trip from Monrovia, often slipping off the slick mud roads, but it was wonderful to meet so many lovely people. The mission was in the deepest jungle of Liberia, but still 300 people that heard our wedding announced on Liberian National Radio on their little transistor radios took it as an invitation, and started to arrive 'out of the jungle'. They brought small gifts, (carvings, african cloth, a chicken...) It was the first 'white' wedding any of them had ever heard of or seen (does anyone know of any others?)We wore traditional african cloth robes/lappas and bubbas. We had to buy a cow (on the hoof, poor thing) and the local women made the best stew (in a real missionary stew pot!) with palm butter and jolop greens (?) to feed everyone. There was singing & dancing into the night in the local village, lots of cane juice and machete tossing, I'm sure. My husbands parents, Jack and Nell Chinchen, left ENI to start African Bible College in Yekepa,a few years later and now have 4 colleges throughout Africa. The Liberian campus of ABC has been re-claimed from the jungle after the civil war, when they fled through the jungle as the rebels arrived in Yekepa. It is newly reopened (2008) & has been granted University status! Brother Del is at the helm there, a return 'home' for he and his wife, Becky. (Del has lived in Africa most of his life, Liberia then Kenya since the early 90's waiting to go back) We spent our honeymoon at ELWA in Monrovia. So many memories. Glad I found this site. |
