Hi! I came to Liberia in August 1963 with my patents – Knud & Else Albjerg. We lived in F29 until 1965 where we moved to F7. In ’66 I left Liberia for boarding school. My parents moved to Buchanan in ’66 and left Liberia in 1968.In 1984 I came back to Liberia to work at the Power Plant in Buchanan. A lot had changed during the years, but it was nice to be back. I left in ’86.I still see Alan Schollar regularly. He is still in Liberia, working for ITC Bank in Monrovia, but will probably return to UK this spring. If any body is interested I’ll be happy to pass on any messages for him. | |||

Dear Heidi, You are doing an excellent job with the web site and the guest book. I was in Liberia: Buchanan SENTAB 1959 to 1961 Monrovia LME/LTC 1964 to 1966 Monrovia LME/LTC 1977 to 1979 Buchanan CSS LAMCO 1982 to 1987 Yekepa CSS LAMCO 1987 to 1989 I am now retired and living partly in Costa Rica and partly on Costa del Sol in Spain, where we have a house near the town of Torre del Mar about 40 km east of Malaga. I used to consider Liberia my second home, and we actually had in mind to retire in Liberia after Lamco, but unfortunately the civil unrest put a stop to that. I would very much like to get in contact with our liberian friends and colleagues from the time I built the liberian telephone net during the 60th and the 70th as well as all our friends and colleagues in Lamco during the 80th.

Hi i was at school through grades 7 to 9. My twin brothers Stephen and David also attended the school between 1975 to 1981. What wonderful teenage years they were. I have the fondest of memories of those times. It would be lovely to get in contact with old friends from this period. I am so glad to have found this web site. Thanks so much Heidi. Hakan Johannson are you out there? My older sister Karen who used to visit at Xmas time would like to know where Saun Frazier is, anyone know? Sadie DeToles where are you?? | |||

I was so pleased to look at your pictures even though I don't know any of you! It brought my own wonderful Liberian memories flooding back when I lived at Roberts Field where my father worked for Pan American. I'm now active in Friends of Liberia and returned to Liberia in 12/98 setting up the Liberian Educator Assistance Project (LEAP). Please do check us out at www.fol.org on the Web and consider joining. I even visited Buchanan on that trip and saw much of the war's devastation. | |||

I was the baby of the Benjamin tribe. You could say that I was born and bred in Liberia, making an appearance on March 19th 1982 at the local hospital in Yekepa. Everyone in the family is doing well, Michael is a successful golf professional in Florida (surprise, surprise), Vincent is a manager for a large electronics manufacturer, Noreen is just completing her nurses training and I am in my final year of a degree in physiotherapy in Bristol. Mum and Dad are fine although you could say that they have slowed down the infamous partying that they got up to over there!. It's really great to see some familiar names, people who have shared such a spaecial time with me and my family, it's just a shame it all had to end so soon!.

Hidie, How are you. Its been nearly 20 years since we last saw each other. It was realy great to read your home page, those memories of Liberia will stay with all of us forever.The most amazing thing about living and growing up in Liberia is that you can never forget the place, the smells, the people, the weather, everything seems frozen in my mind. Every morning when I get up the first thing I think of is Liberia, in the night when i go to bed the last thing I think of is Liberia. Over the years these thoughts have not got stopped but have remaind with me and when things havent gone to well they have been a great sorce of comfort. When ever I talk to my family and others who were lucky enough to have lived there, they all seem to agree with what I have just written. I hope that through the internet, we "Liberians" can all keep in touch and hopefully one day reunite. Liberia is still the most important part of my life and I belive it always will be. Thank you for taking the time to set up this page and bringing back all those wonderfull memories for me. Please pass on my best wishes to your mum, dad and brother for me. Over the years I have thought about you all. Tell your brother that Michael and I still call him "Joker". My mun and dad were realy happy to read your page, they called me straight away and told me about it.They heard about it from Berni Osbourne, his doughter Vicky has sent you an e.mail which is on your page. I hope to here from you soon Best wishes Vince Benjamin. | |||

Hello Heidi: My sister connected me to your site. I am now a Martin living on the east coast of Canada but I used to go by Berry. Hard to believe that it was so long ago. I have very fond memories of growing up in Liberia and especially of all the wonderful diverse people we were fortunate to grow up with. Lots of good times at the Nautilus club on Friday afternoons, Furtemarks beach and ofcourse the golf course where we spent most of our time while dad golfed. The dances weren't that bad. I have some great photos of the crowd we hung with and school pictures. My husband is having them scanned at work and I will forward them to you. I see so many names that are still familiar to me. You have set up an excellent site. We were in Buchanan, Loop 2 from 75-79. Take Care and hope to hear from anyone wishing to contact me. | |||

Just found your site on the web … excellent work!! My late father, Geoffrey Bexon, worked as a diesel instructor for Lamco between April 1970 and May 1971 and (I believe) lived in Yekepa. He always spoke fondly of his time in Liberia and the year he spent there was one the highlights of his life. If anyone has any photos of my father in Liberia I’d love to hear from them. | |||

We taught at African Bible College 1980-88 in Yekepa. We have been back in the States for 12 years and represent SIM, the mission that started ELWA, in California, Arizona and Nevada. 16-18 June 2000 we were at an ELWA reunion in Illinois where 150 missionaries, Liberians, and adult missionary kids gathered. We are delighted to tell you ELWA is back broadcasting in English and 6 Liberian languages. African Bible College continues with a campus in Malawi. (Marian, Paul and Palmer Chinchen are all on staff at ABC with their parents in Malawi.) We were referred to your website when a friend from ELWA found our names mentioned in Efriam Mostrom's entry to the guestbook. We will respond to him and his family also. We have reviewed most of the entries and find names of people we know from living in Yekepa. We also looked at your photo section. Our hearts are broken for Liberia. Our three sons -Brian, Kevin and Regan cherish their childhood in Liberia. Brian, his wife Cathy, Chantelle, Charity and Cody live in Bouake', Cote d'Ivoire and are dorm parents at International Christian Academy (ICA) where Brian graduated from high school. (He never attended LAMCO schools.) Kevin and his wife, Michelle and son Colton live in Lubbock, TX where he is a city policeman. They are hoping to move back to California. Regan lives in Yucaipa, California and works at a Christian conference center. (Kevin and Regan both attended E-School 1980-82.) | |||

Hi everyone! It has just been a coincidence for me to find this web-site and I can't explain my fellings after going through all those pictures quite similars to the ones I have. I was born in Liberia 1969 and lived there till I was 10 when my parents decided to send me in Spain with my grand-parents. I kept visiting Liberia for X-Mas (lovely sweet memories with good friends over there)up to 1990 when problems began. I went back twice 1999 and 2001 cause my father, William (working in he timber side) was still there (he has spent nearly 37 years in the country so he is half-liberian half-spanish). We are in touch with people over there, in fact we managed to get through last night. The situation is caotic!! Well I could spend hours talking about Liberia!! Love, Carmen | |||

There is a photo in the 'General' section in the Yekepa files on this site, of a black woman and white man holiding a little baby. I wonder could anyone please tell me the names of the people in this photograph, as they look familiar, but i cannot place them. Many thanks. | |||

Hejsan & Hello to All: Hiedi, Thank You O! for a job well done.This site has taken be down memory lane. I was born in LAMCO Buchanan and lived in Loop 2 with my grand parents (Henry L. Chesson - Civil Engineering Department & Rebecca Chesson - Kindergarden teacher LAMCO, Buchanan). We later moved to Loop 1 (our neighbor was the principal - Bengt Wikstrom & Family). Below are some school mates I remember:James Meece, Mardea George, Dale Reeves, Fiona McMurchie, Patricia Fitgerald,Victoria Armstrong, Theda Petterson, Jonathon Nimrod,Joe Wieberg,Cliff Illie,Ruddy Chesters etc. Hope all are well. Also miss the great sporting events between LAMCO International school, Buchanan and E-school, Yekepa. So what have I been up to since LAMCO? After LAMCO, I attended Ricks Institute in Liberia and came to the U.S. in 1981 as an exchange student. Returned to Liberia in 1982 and attended the Cuttington University College (graduated in 1988). After Cuttington, started work as a Financial Analyst with the Minsitry of Finance. Lasted until the outbreak of the civil war (1990). During the civil war I worked with the United Nations delivering much needed relief supplies in the country. This was a tough but wonderful experience(it gave me a different perspective on life). In 1993 I returned to the U.S. to study for my Masters in Business Administation-MBA at the University of Missouri, St. Louis. Upon graduation (1996)I was hired by MasterCard International (Global credit card company).I currently work as a Business Analyst for this company. My wife Yvette, and I along with our 2 sons Jehu Jr.(9yrs) and Dale Oloff (2yrs), currently reside in St. Louis Missouri, USA. Thanks once again to Heidi for a job well done! Hope to get in touch with friends and school mates from LAMCO. My personal email account is JFChesson@hotmail.com Bye, Bye, YA! Hejdå! | |||

After reading your wonderfull guesbook,I can see that the majority of entryes are from Yekepa and employes from the early sixties are rare.I arrived October 62 by a small plane From Monrovia to Buchanan,at that time the railroad to Nimba where under constconstruction,the breakwater in Buchanan where very short and of course no cardumper to receive ironore.I worked at the point near ligthouse beach,in a very primitive Garage,and somtimes we had to go home because the place became flooded in the rainseason I believe all Lamco employees remember names like "Eagles nest" "Star bar" "Karl and Karin" and for the very early of you "Question bar".Yes we where young! I remember the Nautical club whith whaterskiing,sailing and diving.My favourit activity was fishing in Saint Jhons river,we caught many Barracudas and Groupers(my biggest weighed in at 13kg).My favourite meal is and was a dish called "Liberian country chop"I am shure you all miss this wonderfull meal.I left Buchanan in 1970,and would like to Know what happend since Lots of greetings Bob Christensen Finlandsvej 12 5500 Middelfart Denmark. | |||

This site has helped bring back some memories. I was only there for a year but I made a great friendship with Stig Carlson. We both had pellet guns and would go off 'hunting'. I wonder where he is now? Perhaps someone reading this may know and let me know. The class photo 67/68 Grade 8 brings memories back too of the people I had a great time with. I look at the latest photos of the pool I spent many hours in and feel sad that it and the whole community is gone. I believe the idea was for Liberians to take over eventually. I wish they could have. Heidi, thank you for creating this site, you have done a great job. I will try and find our photos and see if any are worth posting. | |||

Hi Heidi, Thanks a million for the love and care for our(your)country,Liberia . This kind gesture is highly appreciated especially, during these crucial and devastating period of our history when others may have forgotten the hospitality of Liberians, and the good old days there. Those fond memorable days we had in Yekepa and Buchanan will always be cherished. It is our joy and pride that the Scandanavians, Europeans and few Americans who served Lamco still love and care for us. This we have always felt and can now proudly say you guys were true friends of Liberia and to Liberians. For those of you who were born and raised in Yekepa and Buchanan we say Never Mind Yah (Liberian way)for your country. This proves that we are not alone in our civil crisis and gives us the strength and courage to hold up and keep praying to God for a bright shining day. I cried when I read your web page having been informed by my daughter, Sandra. My husband, Samuel worked in Lamco and was assigned to the Personnel & Training Departments both in Yekepa and Buchanan from 1973-1988. I served as contratoral Secretary with various Depts. To include Mine Lab, Accounting, CSS, Training & Maintenance, etc. Those were the best days of our lifespan where we spent youthful and quality times with some beautiful and nice people. Our children are Samuel, Jr., Sandra, Samelia and Tombekai. We are all blessed to be alive from the war. I am currently in the USA with Samuel, Jr. and Sandra while my husband is still in Liberia with the others. We would be glad to hear from all our friends in Yekepa and Buchanan. I would like to be linked with Mr. Gunnar Brickner and family. He stood in Church as Godparent in Yekepa for Sandra. Also Gunnar Mathiesen, who was my boss at CSS. My daughter, Sandra is now married and would like to hear from Amanda Backade, her father is called Bengt. Samuel, Jr. would like to have contact with Mike Olofsson, his parents were in Loop 3 in Buchanan and has a set of twins called Stefan and Tomas. Through your web page I was blessed to know that Tina and Ulf Bergman and their children, Anna and Eva, our close family friends are still concern about us. I have written them. We missed our good times with Lamco and pray for peace to return to our beloved country so a reunion can be held in Liberia someday. Once again thanks for such wonderful initiative and may God bless and sustain you. | |||

When Rustum Maddy told me about this Website I just freaked out. To reminisce about the "GOOD OLD DAYS" in Yekepa and to think about all those good people just gives me the greatest of pleasure. Thanks a lot Heidi for such a marvelous job. "E" School did produce some brainy people. I lived in Yekepa from 1963 to 1979, started in kindergarden in Grassfield and then went to E-School and lived all my adolescent days in Yekepa with my parents Mr. and Mrs. Julius Dennis,Sr. We lived in EB. I had two younger brothers Archibald and Theophilus. I would like to get in touch with the following old friends, should any one know their whereabouts: Lennart Broberg and sisters Carola and Lena, the Brennan brothers (Francis,James & John), Peter Gaul and Barbara Brosig. I am currently living in Houston, Texas, USA with with my wife and two kids. I am into Aviation Management and Work with the Houston Airport System as an Airport Operations Specialist. My address is 5134 Beaverhill Drive, Houston, TX, 77084, USA. Tel # (281)858-5514. Good to know that a lot of people are still around and doing pretty well in their various careers.

Well i used to live in Yekepa from Apr 75 to Apr/May 78. I was in grade 4 when we arrived. I don't remember many people from their, but i do remember Gisela and Suzanne Anderson (not sure of the correct spelling), When i get a moment i will see if Robert (my brother ) can scan some of the pictures i have from there and show me how to send them to you. One of your pictures at the Junior Golf thing looks like it might be me. In those days i won a few trophies - mostly because my parents forced me to take golf, just because they liked it. I hated it then, now if it was only a little cheaper i would play more. I remember a few memorable things from there, Like the time my father was getting ready to go to work and was just about to put his boots on, but then said to our houseboy wash them first. Good thing because inside was a "green mumba snake". The other when a bunch of families were going to cross over the ivory coast and this boa was massive. I also remember one boy asking if he could french kiss me (at age 10 - 11) and i said sure, i went over to the boy and rubbed my nose against his. I thought that's what was a french kiss, did the guy ever laugh, when i found out it involved lips and tongue ....gross. I believe we were the only Canadian family at that time that lived in Yekepa. I also remember we had our house broken into. About 10 years or so ago i got a call in Brampton from a girl who kept asking me to guess who she was, i could never guess, it ended up being Gisela and Suzanne... They were at the time hoping to come to America to me a rich man. I wonder if that every came true. I remember next door to us was a Maria Mathiesen of something like that. Also an Olga who left a year or so before us but lived on the same street. I also remember an Ingrid. For a while we did write back and forth, but their english was not good and my swedish was horrible. I used to be able to speak it , but as time passed and not having anyone to talk to in swedish..it just went ... Anyways i thank my brother for passing this on to me. We do live together in brampton. And hope to receive a reply. | |||

Hi Heidi & Friends, I must say you have opened a whole new world of online opportunity for us. Especially, the Old Class Pictures, which brings back special memories. By the way, I lost all my class photos & so much during the war. You have my email, let me know how I can assist in this wholesome effort. Thanks again. Edwin (Jackie) | |||

Hello everybody! It has been really nice to sit here and read all your messages! I lived in nimba from 1965 to 1985, first in "F105" and later in "F53". I attended "E-school" from 1st to 9th grade, Mrs. McCritty and Mrs. Milton are some of the teachers I remember well. As a matter of fact, Mrs Milton had such a bad reputation among the students that I used to have nightmares every summer in case she was going to be my next class teacher. When I finally did get Mrs. Milton, she turned out to be one of the best teachers I ever had!! After 9th grade I started to work at the stables in private valley, where I gave riding lessons to a lot of people, and took care of my horse, Sheriff. If any one knows what happened to the horses I would really like to know. I met my husband, Todd, in 1979 at "Facias Bar and Disco" in P-market, our first daughter was born in Lamco hospital in 1983, we moved to Norway 1985, our second daughter was born here in 1989 and we are still married. Please, feel free to kontact me! | |||

Let me first take this opportunity to say well done to the dreamers and creaters of this site who in their hearts Liberia never faded and decided to keep the memories alive with this site. I am one of the Rafic family members if you lived in Buchanan then you probably remember the Buchanan Supermarket well that was for my dad.

Thanks for creating a venue for us to have a much needed reunion. I cried profusely as I fixated on the names and comments. I cried because it was my wish to work for LAMCO and to retire in Yekepa, a hope dashed by the current carnage. That said, you have given me an opprtunity to partly share moments with many familiar names. I attended Area B School with Femi Davis, Alex Quermorlu, Richard Kekeh, Felix Neufville, Daniel Gbardoe, Leon Gerring, and many others. Wonderful Feelings!!!! Thanks. | |||

Hi all friends and former LAMCO'ers. I first came to LAMCO Buchanan as a consultant in 1985 to reprogram some control systems for the washing plant. At that time I only stayed for four months, but when I been back in Sweden for a couple of months I was asked If I'd like to come and work for LAMCO so I went back to Buchanan in June -86 and stayed for two years, and I loved it and got a lot of good friends. I worked for the electrical department as senior foreman, in charge of installation, repair and maintenance on the plant from car-dumper to ship loader. I miss my time in Liberia and I often tell friends about the life down there. Have a good time and hope we’ll meet some day. Jan Bulér (Ericson) | |||

I heard about another site - www.digitalfarmers.com/yekepa and ended up here. I am one of the boys in the photo library. I think it was 1984 grade 4 At the bottom and 2nd from the right and it would be interesting to get in touch with others who lived in Yekepa at the same time 81-84. I still remember most names of the people on the photo and I think that I could get some more from that period, since my sister Anna also should have some photos from her class. Johan Eriksson | |||

This is a fantastic website! I lived in Liberia, Yekeba as a child between 1979-1981, my father Bengt Eriksson worked for Lamco. I went the International school until second grade and I remember my teacher Mrs Bingham very well. I have very fond memories of my time in Liberia, the golfcourse (where we went "spiderspotting"), the swimming pool and also the "cinema" for a dollar. The kids in my class came from different parts of the world and I´m sorry to say that I don´t know where any one is today. Dennis from Holland, Richard Taylor from England, Linn a norweigan girl, Sandra a good friend of mine, Jennifer who always invited everybody for her birthday parties(all the children got presents to bring home and i remember the barbiedoll), Jonathan. Ofcourse there were many more but memories fade.Thanks Heide for a great site! | |||

Heidi!Greetings from an "oldtimer". I worked with your dad in CSS . You have grown quite a bit since that time. I started my work with LAMCO/CSS in 1966 and left for good 1980. I left for a job with UN in 1975 but returned "home" to Liberia in 1977. I think this website will be a great meetingplace for long lost friends. | |||

I was delighted to discover this web site about LAMCO and notice a number of my old colleagues and friends. Gurli and I and our two daughters, Lea and Susanna, loved our time in Liberia and think back on it with fond memories. I worked in the Data Processing Section of the Finance Department under Lothar Loehr (greetings to Lothar and Harriet). I my spare time I flew as an instructor in the Lamco-Nimba Aero Club. Gurli and I are presently living in Odense, Denmark but our permanent home is in Brisbane, Australia where our two daughters live. We have a son, Dan, who was born in Australia but went to Denmark and ended up staying and marying a Danish girl, Esther. You can read more about us and see some pictures on our web site: http://www.ole.eskildsen.info. Greetings to all of you and I would love to hear from you. | |||

Brilliant web site,browsing through brought back lots of happy memories.I recognised quite a few names and will be contacting them. Some of the photos had a few faces that seemed familiar definately John Dadd and I think Roland Karlson.Margaret and me are still together and grandparents now since Katherine had Thomas.We are still in contact with some of our old crowd, Umpleby, Moore, Plunkett. How I wish the clock could be turned back to rub out the horror of what has happened to the Liberian people and the country.Thanks again for the great web site. Mike Fancourt | |||

I was teaching at Lamco E-school in Yekepa 1967-68.Those of you who rember me (or have forgotten!)can find me among the teachers on Heidi`s site: Photos-Yekepa.(E-school) From 1972-73 I worked at the Lamco school in Buchanan. As I stumbled into this site a few days ago, I`m quite overwhelmed by all these long "forgotten" names,places and most of all, the everlasting devotion to the "Land of Liberty" everyone shows in their letters. But how it hurts to see all damage done to Yekepa and Buchanan! Now these places are just pearls in our memories. What about you? Are YOU still out there? Students, colleagues, friends? Please write! Love to all of you! Ellen. | |||

Well this site is just in place and I don't even know what or where to start. I was born in LAMCO-YEKEPA and found out that there was a company called LAMCO that cater to more that half the population of Nimba. My father Mohammed T.S Fofana worked with the company at the time. All we ever experience in yekepa was good time. I will never forget about the community center, the hourse riding club, the tennis court and a lot of memorable places. I attended the LAMCO area school system ("c" school). I had so many friends there until my father was transfer to Buchanan by the company; we lived the up to his death. There are a lot of us former residence of yekepa who really appreciate the creator of this site, cuz like Ambrose said it really brought back old memories. Ambrose lil' brother Alvis Sartee and I where classmates in Buchanan. we where in yekepa together and then litter found ourselves in Buchanan again. Much luv to yekepa. | |||

Vi var 42 st på träffen i Gysinge Värdshus-1989 Då vi även hade en liten tennisturnering. Tillbringade den mesta tiden på tennisbanorna i Buchanan som jag även var med att bygga.

Hi Heidi ! Nice homepage. I lived in Yekepa 1966-69 (in F55) Nearly next door to Peter Thejll. My parents returned to Buchanan during the period 1975-1980. I visited them a few times then. They went home shortly after the revolution. I have many fond memories of Liberia. When I got home i started playing drums and have done so ever since. Right now I´m playing in "Black Paddy", a band where we mix african and Irish music. I used to be a professional musician, but now I lead a a group of environmental workers (Miljöligan). Take care !

Cant help laughing at all you "civilised" folks in the comfort of "proper communities".....all mod cons etc..lol Me and my folks lived in what can be best described as a clearing in the bush...small pre-fab house.....only white folks in a village with a small sawmill....no electricity or running water in 1976! ( we dug 3 wells!) Wonder if any of the LAMCO train drivers remember a small logging park where a line was laid in for a timber co. to send logs to Buchanan??...Was about 10 miles south of Ganta or alternatively say perhaps a quarter or third of the way to Buchanan....sure was wild!! That train noise was only sound of modern civilisation for weeks on end sometimes... Does anyone recall this remote outpost???? I miss and love Liberia very much.....seems to deeply touch all who were there.... "The Love of Liberty brought us here..." Beautiful........and thanks for the excellent site. | |||

Heidi ! Visiting your excellent Liberia site, certainly brings back memories from Liberia. As a young man I had the opportunity to sail the seven seas as a merchant mariner, and for nearly two years was on a vessel going back and forth between US East coast and West Africa. This included frequent calls at both Monrovia and Buchanan. This was way back in the late 60's, but the memories are certainly vivid still. On one occasion we had the president ( Mr. W.V.S. Tubman) as a honoured passenger onboard, on one of his visits to the US. Maybe the site can materialize others that also have had the pleasure of visiting Liberia of yesteryear. Keep up the good work. Regards Hans | |||

Hi Heidi! Great job you've done with the Liberia page. I think and hope that more "liberia" related persons will find it and report, I think that we all who grew up in Liberia have a lot of joyous child hood memories in our hearts. Sad though about its late history. Maybe it would be a good thing with a history page were we could go and fill in recollections about our child hood, offcourse the elders might want to join in. By the way I lived in Liberia between 6/6-1967 and summer 1974 I lived on EU 31 and were close nieghboors to the Benjamins whom I remember well. I came down later on vaccations both winter 75, 79 & 80 Take care all friends out there. Peter "Gasso" | |||

Sometimes getting in touch with people I knew 30 years ago feels like travelling through time. I've been able to contact the majority of the characters that played somewhat important roles in my life back then, but a few still elude me. Among them are Betty Brown, Marie Petterson and Joergen Paulsson (who seems to have experienced some tragedy). I'd be gratefull for any information on these folks. Thank you | |||

I wanted to say I enjoyed the information and photos of Yekepa and LAMCO. I also would like to tell you former residents of Yekepa about our Ministry to help some of the needy children of Yekepa/camp 4. I invite you to take a look at our web page www.liberiachristian.org. The residents of Yekepa have had a very difficult time during the war and are still suffering. We are a new ministry working with the Redeemer Baptist Church in Camp 4. We are struggling to meet the financial needs of the children we are helping. If you could help us with our mission it would be greatly appreciated. We do have some current photos of the area posted on the web page if you are interested. God Bless you Randy Godfrey | |||

I was a Peace Corps Volunteer, teaching at Sanniquellie Central High School. I was talking the other day to a former student of mine. He is Mano and from the nearby town of Sakimpa. When he was about 10 (circa 1963-64), he remembers the visit of a Swedish anthropologist doing research in the area. I inquired about the identity of this scholar in an e-mail to the Liberia Studies Association and received a reply from that noted, "His name is Kjell Zetterström, who is Director of a museum in Götheborg, Sweden." Do you know whether this may be true, and if so, how I could contact Mr. Zetterström? | |||

Thanks for this chance to link with people of our great city. Sad that not much is left of Yekepa but even more sad that some people are still hanging on there in the hope that some big company will open the mines again and restore those years the locust have eaten. Upon visiting Yekepa during my holidays in December 1999 I could not help but cry trying to recognize with difficult those sites and structure I knew so well. Never did I know that man could be so mean as to deface such a beautiful. I can only ask us all to remember the people back home in our prayer and beg God never to allow any man again to break down what he did not build. My only consolation is that the Hospital in which I was born is still the Hospital I met with those had working nurses, one of whom used to be my mother. What help we can gather in medication for the hospital will be to them news that God is visiting the community center. GOD BLESS US ALL | |||

When I first noticed the web site with the names and the pictures it was like being brought back to my childhood. Suddenly I was back in Buchanan, ten years old, doing all the things we used to do in and around the LAMCO area, recalling the smells, the sounds, the surroundings and the Sundays at Silver Beach. Reading the guest book, with lots of familiar names from almost 30 years ago, has been something of a strange experience. Great idea, Heidi - bra jobba! | |||

Hi all, After a few emails to Theodora "Teddy" Brooks more than a year ago I finally got an email from Ted Jr Brooks. I'm sure a few of you remember him. He's born the same year as me, -66 and I guess he attended E-school all of his school-years. He's currently living and working in Monrovia with an organization he has founded. I wish him great success and I hope that I someday will be able to help him in his efforts. As he says in the letter he wants me to connect him with Liberia-friends, so I'm reposting the letter here. (Instead of rewriting what he wrote.) | |||

When I first came across the terrible pictures from ol' Yekepa I became very SAD. Of course I should've known, but my memories of Liberia are still so vivid and alive that I couldn't imagine the destruction of Yekepa in its full extent. I have always had the impression that despite the Civil War it should be possible to return to the Eden of my youth - but now it's gone. But after a while my grief turned into surprise and joy and I became very HAPPY when I recognised the names of my long lost schoolmates from Yekepa: Trond, Anna, Eva, Magnus, Börge, Roger, Stefan and many many others. I spent my 7th, 8th and 9th grades in Yekepa in the years of 75-77. I lived at area F with my younger brother Torbjörn, sister Vanja and my parents Gösta (at Maint. dept.) and Marianne (at times working on the Red Cross 'Jungle-bus'). If anyone remember I rode a terrible noisy norwegian motorbike called Tempo and I also used to participate at the monthly go-kart races (sometimes winning, sometimes loosing). I believe my years in Yekepa are the most important ones in my life - I can still remember the nightly smells of P-market, the trips into the bushes, the poolbar, the cinema...You name it! After the years in Liberia we moved about a lot in Sweden, but finally I have settled down on the countryside outside Göteborg with Ulrica and our two daughters (5 and 3). I am currently working as a University teacher at the Law faculty, Gothenburg university. If my name doesn't ring a bell it's propably because I was then more known under the nick-name Bollox... The years go by! Finally: Thank You Heidi for Your impressive efforts of bringing back memories, friends and the hope of a possible future. The Reunion in 2005 is an excellent idea! | |||

I arrived in Liberia 1976 and worked for Infis for 3.5 years. The last 6 month I worked for LAMCO. I like many have unforgettable memories from my Africa time. I am the guy in the photo gallery with the yellow airplane. I met my wife Susan St Clair while in Buchanan. 1980 after driving a Landrover that whas one of the first Lamco cars, across Liberia-Ivorycoast-Mali-UpperVolta-Niger-Algeria-Marocco to Sweeden We decided to go to USA to visit Susans parents.The trip was done by me and Susan and my oldest son Pierre. We are still living here in Arvada Colorado, this is a suburb to Denver. We live a few miles from the foot hills of the Rocky Mountains. Me and Susan have two boys age 15 and 19 years old. We now own and operate a modern machine shop catering to the aero space and manufacturing industry. We also manufacture full scale racing air planes such as used at the National Air races in RENO Nevada. We talk still about the Liberia time and wonder about what happened to all the rest of you. I agree with Heidi the FREEDOM whe had during the years in Africa will never be experienced again. I cherish the memories and hope to some day visit Afrika again. Once in Africa ,Africa will always be in your blood,and I dont mean malaria now. It would be wonder ful to hear from any body from the Lamco group. Feel free to E-mail us any time. | |||

Hi Heidi, I have allready signed the guestbook once. I am writing again to say thanks to all those who have participated in the making of the book on Lamco. I received it in the mail only a few days ago, and I couldn't leave it until I had read all the pages through. The book brought back so many memories. My memories of Liberia are those of childhood and early adolesence. As an adult and a parent I have felt the need to obtain more knowledge and understanding to complete my memories. I sincerely feel that this book has given me answers to some of the questions I have had. It describes the small and big challenges of life in Lamco with respect, retrospective thought and with a good sence of humor. Finally, thanks again to Heidi for keeping up the good work! However, I haven't found many of my old school-friends yet. Where are all of you born in 63 from Buchanan? Lenita Bjørk, where are you? We had much fun together. If anyone remembers me, please send me a mail. Love, Mona | |||

This excellent and enjoyable website referred to me by Wayne Peacock - I am pleased he did! Must admit that my work has taken second place this afternoon! Must also admit to becoming just a little bit emotional when I see some names I recognise and see where they have had to go to find some peace and prosperity. I share the view expressed by many that we lost a home from home and left behind part of our family when the time came for us to leave Liberia. Thanks for bringing us a little closer together again. I'm sure we all remember more the good times than the bad. May the better times come back to Liberia and its people again before long. | |||

Hi everyone! Thanks Heidi for a great site! Many memories from the best time of my life!!! Cool to see so many friends & my old school pictures! I remember 1907 as it was Yesterday! Milk & Education might be good for kids but MINI HONDAS WILL MAKE KIDS HAPPY FOR LIFE!! - Remember! (Thanks Dad!) Haven't been to a reunion since 97 or 98. I've been living in Nuku'alofa, Tonga on & off since 1986 and I finally migrated here in 2000 as I got asylum as a Swedish Tax Refugee. I am currently running an Electronic Shop / Workshop ('Ata Lea Electronics) here on Tongatapu (Kingdom of Tonga) which we opened 1992. Where is Tonga?? Well it's not really big but the small dots in the South Pacific that makes the Dateline look so funny will help you find these paradise islands on a map - and YES we are the first to see the sunrise everyday! Tonga has turned out to be just the right place for me as it has much of the same "developing country" atmosphere as I experienced in Liberia (A wonderful mix of Chaos & Freedom in development). Nowadays I repair and sell electronics (TV, VCR, DVD, Audio, Marine & Navigation etc) for a living. Life is great but I need more time for my hobbies; Game fishing, Snorkeling, Whale diving, Darts, Bar-hopping & Beer drinking. So if anyone of you happens to be a REALLY GOOD ELECTRONIC SERVICE AV/TV TECHNICIAN that is looking for a good quality life in a tropical paradise, I have the job for you!!! 'Ofa Atu.

Hello to everyone!! It is very weird but today I had an urge to surf the web and see if there was anything on Liberia. Then I found this site, very well done, my compliments. I also have very nice memories of Liberia. The school, the beaches, the climate and most of all the freedom we had. I also viewed the photos and a lot of memories came back. I also still have a lot of photos, but can somebody inform me how to get them on this site? Needless to say I also miss my friends I had in Liberia. I took the freedom to mail the link of this site directly over to Canada (Jack Vandam and his wife Olga), we still are in touch. Also my mother Maria still has contact with Caroline Smit (now living in Spain) and Dick DeRooij and wife Ineke (living in Twello NL). If somebody still remembers me, my sister Alice or my brother Marc please feel free to contact us. | |||

I lived in Monrovia in 1979. My father was an engineer working on the Hotel Africa for the OAU. I attended the Mesurado School and we used to go hang out at a place called 'the North Beach Club'.While we were there the first 'troubles' started. I met Olaf Jass (who lived in Yekepa) in Israel in 1988. I was working on a moshav and we became great friends talking about the time we spent in Liberia. I was stunned to see his photograph on this website. The last I heard about Olaf was that he had joined the foreign legion. If anyone knows his whereabouts, I would love to get in touch with him! | |||

Once Cheryl told me about the site, I was amazed at the names, places and faces I slowly began to recall from my 9 years in Liberia. The biggest surprise was receiving a telephone call from my best old mate, Cliff Illie in 2002. We hadn't spoken to each other since 1976. If anyone arranges a reunion, I will be happy to attend. Likewise, if anyone is brave enough to plan a trip back to Buchanan, I will give it serious thought to attend. As for now, I am happy and married to Amanda and we have 2 kids, Lewis & Alana. Would love to hear from anyone who might remember me from the old days. I do have a number of photos (thanks to Mum & Dad) and am in the process of scanning all to JPEG format. Hopefully, many more will be include on the site for all to share. Hats off to you Heidi for creating a truly remarkable Website that has brought back many happy memories. Well done and thank you. | |||

This is a great way to try and find old school friends. I lived with my family, Joop and Hilda Hoogkamer and my younger brother Daniel, in Monrovia, where my father worked for O.A.C. My brother and I attended B.I.P.S. I wonder if someone remembers us. One interesting thing though, is that I have been corresponding with my old school-buddy Pikesh Srivastava ever since we both fled Liberia in 1979. Nowadays we use email and chat about once a week. It would be great if I found other old friends by means of this site as well. Cheers to all. | |||

Thanks to Heidi for putting this great site together. I lived in Buchanan in 74-75 & attended Lamco Int. School for Kindergarden. My Dad, Bill, worked at the mine and my Mom, Dorothy, is a nurse and worked at the hospital. We had a very sweet house-boy named Jimmy and a chimp named Charlie. Although I was so young at the time, I still have wonderful memories of beaches, fishing, snake charmers and occasionally hearing Janis Joplin singing "Me and Bobby McGee" on the radio. The smell of mangos always takes me back there! What a wonderful experience in was having lived there. I hope the people of Liberia can one day live in peace. | |||

I lived in Liberia for 30 years, and would like to keep intouch with those who remember me. I worked as an electronic engineer in Buchanan/Lamco Hospital. My wife, Yvonne passed away in 1986 in Monrovia, and My son Cliff, my two daughters Linda and Yvonne Jr. live in Germany currently as well. I read the guest list and found many old acquaintances like Chesson and Dr. Peter Larson and others. This inspired me to sign in, and this is a wonderful website. My thanks to Heidi. I appreciate your efforts. To all those out there who remember me, please do not hesitate to mail. I would be more than glad to hear from old friends again. There is a whole lot to catch up on.

Hi Heidi! What a great deal of work you´ve put in! I really enjoy watching old pictures even if I had left Yekepa in 1976. Internet is a great tool for connecting people, and especially in our case where we came from all over, stayed a couple of years and took of again. I was six years old when we moved to yekepa in 1968, we first lived next to Mathiesens, I got this adress from Christian the other day. My father was one of the doctors in Yekepa, Kell Jakobsen (remember Björnligan??) and my mother Harriet was employed as a socialworker and started up women- and children groups. Please, feel free to contact me by email, I´m curious about what happend to my old friends.. | |||

Hello! Whate a site! I asked Google for Lamco Liberia and here I am after a couple of hours browsing. I used to work in CSS Radio Workshop traveling up and down the railroad. The workshop was in considerable better condition by that time then shown in recent pictures! On the other hand, wasn´t it something like this we expected? But besides a sence of sadness there are a lot of lost old friends to contact and a lot of nice memory flashbacks. Cutlass Club, Cane Juice ond so on. Don´t hesitate to take contact! | |||

My father, who passed away in 1995, lived for about 40 years in Africa. I was very small so unfortunately I don't have many rememberings as my brother Eddy, but I do remember the great times spent at the swimingpool of the Ducor Hotel and fishing with my friends. Lovely country and unforgetable people, like Joseph and Richard who worked at home, I wonder if they are still there, and most important, if they are OK.

I am really glad to have discovered this site. I hope and pray that I will be able to find some of my classmates. I now live in the United States and am working on my Master's. I also have a son - Lawrence-Michael, who is 14 months old. Who could have imagined that one day we would be parents! Heysan, all of you guys who were in Lamco Buchanan. I have one brother and three sisters- Olof Hermelin, Susanne Hermelin, Mahdea George and Lynne George. Our mother worked at the Lamco Hospital as Head Nurse, and our father worked as Paymaster. I graduated in 1981, and entered the Liberian school system with Cliff Illie and Urias Nelson. Hey Cliff and Urias, long time no hear from. I would love to hear from Goran Mohlin, Liselott, Anaheim, Robert Byrd, Barney Almstroem, etc. I am going to pass this website on to all the Liberians I know who live in the States and other parts of the world. Make sure you check out the website I have listed under my url. It is a great resource for you finding friends and classmates from Liberia. You can also register your names on the e-mail listing. Thanks much for this website Heidi, and I would love to make it to Reunion 2002. Okay, enough for now. | |||

Going trough and reading all names in Heidi´s guestbook,brings back many nice memories of people I met during my years in Liberia, and at the Personnel Dept at Gränges Int Mining (GIM). After early retirement I have continued working as Africa Desk Officer at Caritas Sweden, the relief organisation of the catholic church in Sweden. During the civil war, I served as Liberia Liaison Officer, within the Caritas net-work i Europe,and Caritas Internationalis in Rome. I have visited Liberia,more or less every year,in addition to visit to Liberian refugees in Guinea and Ivory-coast. I am retired,but continue to do some voluntary work at Caritas,and follow on daily basis,what is happening in Liberia and it´s people,I feel I owe a lot,for all friendship,hospitality and kindness they have shown me, during 40 years.The first 10 years I spent in Liberia,I consider the happiest in my life. | |||

Heidi, thanks very much for your pictures and stories. They really made my day. While we may not know one another, growing up as kids in Yekepa was a wonderful experience that is hard to explain to other kids who do not have a clue of the freedom and fun we had. Thanks again. I was born in Yekepa in 1968. I lived there until I moved to the United States in 1983. I thought it would be the same but there is nowhere like Yekepa. The place is special period.I attended Carroll High School but I visited International school on many occasions. Looking at some of the pictures today, brought tears to my eyes. I look forward to going back and live in Yekepa again. Do you think it will be the same? | |||

All I can say is, thank you, friend of Liberia, for bringing back so many good memories. You are really a gem. I had family and friends in Yekepa and can attest to many of the good things your classmates they have been writing about. I also checked out your family album. You have a lovely family. Keep up the good work and God Bless you and yours. | |||

Great job Heidi! The word about your homepages are spreading. I noticed that some of my old classmates from Yekepas E-school have signed your guestbook, like Stefan Kihl, Bjorn Edsholm, Gunther Dums, Barbara Brosig, Garry Cronin and also all the other friends I saw had signed (I've looked back as far as January). To anyone who knows me: please email me at leif@elpanneteknik.se. If someone remembers my brother Lars (Yekepa 1969-1975), his email address is lars@elpanneteknik.se. If anyone knows my father Bengt (Yekepa 1968-1979), you can email him on bengt.kring@swipnet.se. He just retired from his job with ABB Flexible Automation and could use some cheering up. | |||

Not too many people from our era in the photos so far, but I do remember the Slovitts, and John Dadd. We'll try to dig out some old photos. Keep up the good work! | |||

As a result, I lay claim that I left some part of me there at some time. Anyway, nice site, brings back memories. And though I probably know none of you, we did experience many of the same things, from the beautiful scenery to the sharing of food with locals.

Wow! So many names that I recognise from my days in Liberia, Colin Cronin, John McLean, Vince Benjamin and I am sure there are more. I was in Liberia from 1965 to 1974 with my father Andrew, known as Andy, who drove the locos from Mt Nimba to Buchanan, my mother Stella and sisters Dianne and Catriona, who was born there. We lived in EU22 and I have many happy memories of days at the swimming pool and then a trip to Maddys for the lovely ice cream! My favorite meal? Pepper Chicken of course! I am still in touch with Lindsay Bell and Mrs Gordon, previously Mrs Rice, attended my wedding in 1987. I have not had time to visit all of your site but it has been a great experience and I am sure I will be back often! I have some pictures from Liberia that I will scan and send to you in the New Year. In the meantime, thanks again for a marvellous site and all the best for Christmas and 2000 to everyone who lived and/or worked in Liberia. Lesley | |||

During my term of employment with LAMCO we had a fairly constant record of 25 different nationalities represented on our payrolls. One of my fondest memories of those times was the behavior of the children at play. They did not understand each others' languages, but they seemed to know instinctively what each other wanted to do. They got along beautifully together, reflecting the cohesiveness of our employees. LAMCO was a great international effort. It proved to me that ordinary people of different cultures can work happily together toward a common goal in the absence of disruptive leadership or jingoism. Of course, like any family existence there were the odd spats, but those were of short duration and forgotten. I note that many of those listed on your pages may be children that I watched at play. Many of them also have fond memories of those days. I hope that what they learned there as children has helped them weather the turmoils of hatred which have been sweeping the world since those times. | |||

Hi! What a great initiative this web-site is - it's a pity I didn't find it earlier. I moved from Stockholm to southern Sweden in '89, and am right now attending the University of Lund. The only reunion I visited was back in '84, and since then I have practically no contact with other persons who used to live in Liberia. In addition to this, I always had a hard time remembering names. Scrolling through the guestbook did not help - sorry! Hopefully someone remembers me though... :) Anyone who would like to contact my parents, Vera and Sture Läck, can send an e-mail to me (they don't read their own mail as much as one would like them to...). My father is turning 80 this summer, and I am sure that he would be glad to hear from old friends. | |||

Heidi, I finally got a chance to sign your Guestbook. Damn, you have done a helluva job! Keep up the good work. This site is fantastic. This is the site that all LAMCOERS have been waiting for. I am confident that this will become the vehicle to reunite us all again. I have already begun spreading the good news about your site to everyone that I know whom once lived in Yekepa or Buchana. As a matter of fact I will take some pictures of some of the Lamcoers that I am still in contact with and send them to you. Maybe you can create a section 'What do they look like now?' After viewing the pictures on your site, I feel I know your entire family personally. Give them all my regards. My brother, Rustum, is trying to get in touch with Bodil's brother, Bjorn Ekrem. If you know his whereabouts, can you send me the information? I will respond to your email soon. Take care and best of luck with this site.your friend'ho... little devil'.I would l also like to take this time to give a 'shout out'(that's hello) to all of my fellow Lamcoers where ever you are. Because of Heidi, we can now reminisce and re-live our past. Let's take advantage of this very special opportunity. Pass the good word. And for anyone who don't know or remember me, just think of the GREATEST PEPPER CHICKEN IN THE WHOLE WILD WORLD! So long. | |||

My father Ezio Tettamanti and Iolanda Tettamanti went to Liberia in 1957 together with us kids. We first lived on top of Nimba mountain then moved down to Grassfield. Yekepa was only a small african village then became almost a city.However we stayed in Grassfield. If anyone recalls my family i would be glad to get in touch. We had two chimpanzes. We left Liberia in 1965 with much regret. I have great memories of those years in that small corner of Africa. Well for today enough memories. Ciao Mario | |||

Thanks so much Heidi for putting all us in touch again. You have done a real hard and excellent job. I was born in Monrovia where my parents lived since 1961, and brought up in Nimba and Buchanan. My parents moved to Nimba in 1963, few months later after I was born. We lived in Area E. Our neighbours were The McCritie and their children:Alexander, Mary, Lynn, Jerry, Thomas...She was a teacher at school. I have a brother called Iñaky. My father is Manuel Mateo, he worked in Maintenance workshop, and my mother was Mary Carmen. We moved to Buchanan in 1971 and lived in Loop 4. Born and brought up in Liberia was great,and still believe in the future, a new generation will be able to live as we did in Liberia. | |||

I believe it would be a pleasure to communicate and possibly meet with people who once lived and worked in the community that I grew in up as a youth. I was a very popular football player back then, maybe a few people might remember me. However, I would love to be a part of whatever arrangements you are trying to make.

What a fantastic surprise! Jørgen, my eldest son (now 47!) called me a few minutes ago and told me about this wonderful website. This is just great, Heidi, and by this initiative I'm sure that you are rendering a valuable opportunity to meet again some of our good friends and colleages from the unforgettable years in Liberia. I came to Grassfield, Yekepa one of the first days of January in 1964 to work as a Budget officer. My family - my wife Kari, my daughter Sissel (now 50), sons Jørgen (47) and Ole-Martin (now 42) - joined me in March the same year. I had my office in Grassfield, where we all were living until we moved to Area F in Yekepa in 1966. I've browsed your index of persons a little, Heidi, but I'm going to follow up to the very end! So far, the only one of my closer friends and colleages I've met there is you, Bernt Karlsson Yilakalle! Not so long ago Terje Hauge and I had the opportunity to take advantage of your Liberian mission for Caritas in our futile attempts to do some- thing for the suffering people. Tjänare, Kalle! Thank you again for what your did for us in those disastreous years! Do I meet you again here? We do also have Liberia and our happy years there in our hearts forever. | |||

Having just celebrated the 25th anniversary of the day I first set foot in Liberia ( 15th Sept 1978 ), I thought this would be a good time to update my details in the guest book. It’s been a couple of years since I last signed in. I expect, like most people who frequent this site, that our attentions have been focused on the recent developments in Liberia. I only hope that the next chapter in this wonderful country’s almanac will see the people of Liberia getting back to a more normal way of life. The suffering had to end, but it’s so very sad that it took so long. We all have our own views as to why this was. Yes last Monday was exactly 25 years to the day that I “arrived” in Liberia. To celebrate we made Pepper Soup and we also had Chicken Palm Butter. We found palm nut concentrate in a small African/Caribbean store in Glasgow, it was fantastic. I worked for the CTC Group of CSS in Lamco Buchanan for 11 years and remember well having country chop days at CSS usually as a kind of thank you for the Liberian workers. That’s where I first discovered chicken palm butter. Must go for now, would be glad to hear from long lost friends. Very best regards Pete & Christine Moore | |||

I joined the Lamco Joint Venture Operating Company on the 15th of January 1965 as a consultant. I left the company as Personnel Superintendent in 1973. Among other tasks of the Personnel Department, I was responsible for running E-school. Reading the names of so many children from so many countries, all of whom are now adults, lends remarkably to reminiscence of one of the most pleasant experiences of my life. You are right, Heidi, (if I may call you that)- Yekepa should be remembered. It was the closest thing I know of to Utopia. You will not remember me because you were very young when I left the company.My congratulations, nevertheless, to you for the excellent idea to create a web which will allow so many people to get in touch with one another to remember a delightful part of their lives spent in a place called Yekepa | |||

Hi to all! I was quite young, 9, when I left Buchanan, but still have some wonderful memories. It was such a beautiful place to live, and so culturally diverse. I remember taking swimming lessons at the Nautical Club, and being awarded a little fish pin for each level passed - not to mention the best hamburgers EVER, there has to be a secret to them!!!I do remember April, I seem to remember you being born on April 1st, is that correct? Does anybody else remember the pet chimp that Jane Saunders had? I think it's name was Elsie. To all the people from Buchanan that have pictures, keep posting them, its so nostalgic. Thank you Heidi, this is an absolutley brilliant idea!!!! | |||

I was very excited when this site was forwarded to us. My husband Brian worked for Lamco in the Washing Plant in Buchanan; his boss was Mats Nielson (who is on one of the photos from Denise Berry) - also on that shift was Moses Wehye. I recognised Henry Schearer from one of those pictures too; as well as Tony Holmes from Chuck Slovitt's pictures. We lived in Loop 5, our next door neighbours were Astrid and Chris Wangren on one side, and Jim and Christine Ashton on the other. Our children Shannon (31) and Shawn(30) went to the Lamco school and at that time were taught by Lynn and Dave Hill. We are still in contact with several people from "the old days" (Margaret Sangster in Fife, Roland Couffon in Bahrain, Loretta Couffon in Ontario Canada, Paul Angeloni in the UK, Paul Louvelle lives in the same town as us here, and Anne & Denny Berry in Mirimichi - we have visited them a couple of times). We lost touch with Jim and Christine (Sally, Andrew and Jamie), Beryl and Eddie Saunders (Jane and Barbara). If anyone can help me with a home or email address, I would love to contact them again. Also like to know if anyone knows the whereabouts of Paul and Sally Mildner. From the Guestbook, I recognize Sandy MacIntosh (I can't remember Mrs. MacIntosh's name, but know they had three children, the last one born in Buchanan, the eldest daughter Elaine?) We bought a white convertible from Sandy. I definitely remember April and Adrian, their family lived in Loop 4, just behind us and how their dad George loved the hot peppers, jolloff rice and goat soup. I bought a can of palm butter from a store specializing in foreign foods, but it just wasn't the same! Remember the spread at Christmas, with the food of all nationalities? Red fire ants? Remember the ladies with the large enamel bowls of "crawfish" on their heads? The ex-pat ladies had it really rough - a group of us would play tennis in the early morning, followed by a round of golf, followed by the afternoon spent at the Nautical Club eating those super hamburgers, home in time to meet our husbands and a night at the Football Club run by Georgette and Maurice! What a life! Dining at Labibb's, dancing at Suzannes, how beautiful Silver Beach was and how the sand squeaked under your feet....what a tragedy that things changed - we always felt so safe and "at home" in Liberia; in fact we had to be forced to take our first annual leave; we just didn't want to go away! Does anyone remember coming back from leave and how you felt when you saw your house decorated with flowers and palm leaves - just so glad to be back. A Swedish ceremony which we were introduced to and loved was the St. Lucia - it was just so unique and beautiful. We left Buchanan at the end of a three year contract enroute to Iran, but because of unrest there, did not make it, so returned to Labrador where we have been ever since. We both work (still!) for another iron ore mine. I will try to find some pictures that are in a safe place somewhere to scan them in; see who else recognizes anything/anyone. Heidi, this was a great idea - thank you. Jenny Myers | |||

I was born and raised in Liberia...I left when I was 171/2. I loved visiting Yekepa. So many memories from there. I lived near Monrovia but occasionally my parents would take me and my brothers to Yekepa for vacation. I loved the picnics on the "mountains" of iron ore, the swimming pool, and the scenery...seeing Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, and Ivory Coast all at once. And yes, I did travel the train a couple of times with some friends...it wasn't all that bad either. In Yekepa, we often stayed with friends and once stayed at a Swedish home near a guest house. I loved the European look of the houses. When I was six, my grandparents, my parents, and brothers went to Yekepa in the summer. My grandfather is Swedish, and we were invited to attend the the festival of the all summer's night. That was quite unusual to attend. You're right Heidi, Yekepa was amazing...I'll never forget it. | |||

Hi Heidi! Dette var helt topp!! Dis pless finni fine-o, I swea! Looking at your photos and reading your vivid recollection of Yekepa filled me with a longing for Liberia:sights, sounds, smells, impressions whitch I believe all who have had the fortune of spending their childhood and youth in Liberia share with me! I lived in Buchanan 64-74, first in loop3 then loop4 with my brothers Risto, Micke and Stefan. Parents:Aili & Gunnar Nilsson. I was in Yekepa on a few occasions and agree with your description. Also remember our visits to Bong Mine, Monrovia Edina...Sigh! How time flies, I'm now 40 and reading all the messages in the guestbook filled me with a sense of warm nostalgia! Hope to see you all at the Liberia reunion in Stockholm this summer. (Fiiiiiiiine-banana-ooh 2for5) This site made my day:Tauno | |||

Hi! And thanks for your initiative, I believe it will be appreciated by many! I have lived in Yekepa as well, if I don't remember wrong I stayed at area J (The private area). The year was 84/85 and I finished my 9:th grade at the Lamco - correspondance school (In Swedish). After thet year I moved to Voinjama Lofa County. In the interior of Liberia. I stayed there for a year and helped out my parents who worked as a missionaries for the Swedih Pentecostal mission there. That year was one of my greatest, as young. Had a lot of Peace core friends there as well. Now I work with young people in Sweden, but do occasionally travel down to Sierra Leone. Have made quite a few trips. (6). Wishing you the best, Lasse | |||

Wow! It's a great site...stirs up memories. I went through the entire war episode and came out okay. I am presently a youth pastor working with the Bethel World Outreach Ministry. While home i worked with about 10,000 young men and women who went through the war and helped them stay out of the fighting and prostitution. the work spread to neighboring Sierra Leone. In the year 2000 I was asked to transfer to Cameroon and I stayed there woorking among French young people and now the headquarters desires my service in the USA. Well, it was always my desire to share with millions of kids of all race the joy I experienced in Yekepa.ooh! The pool movies, the student center at the bachelor flat, the mountain, friends, classique teachers. I was back there in Yekepa just before I left home in 1999...a ghost town. During the day time, those who I went to were living in area E, that is the time they went to the farm-the back of area J. The administrative building opposite the supermarket is like "see -through me". The worse was when I visited Bong Town-you see where I used to go to look for young people-there was no Bong Town. The entire place was covered with grass, bush etc. Guard your memories of a place that many enjoyed-and fight terrorism with everything you've got. | |||

Hi there!! This sure brings back memeories, I feel dissy. I moved to Yekepa with my parents in 1978, I was then 3 years old. Just before I started 3rd grade we moved to Buchanan, in 1987 we went back to Denmark. As everyone else I only have good memories from Libereia, and ever since we left, there has been a hole in my hart. I feel that Liberia is my homecountry, because that is where I have all my childhood memories. As others probably also have experienced it is very hard to share with someone who has not been there. In Buchanan I had a horse " Kipling " was his name, he used to be at the stables in Yekepa, he was almost 18 years old, but still going strong. My freind Lisa ans I took good care of him, he was the only horse at the stables, so sometimes he would break out, go up to the road, and look at traffic, I guess he got a little bored when we were not there, eventhough we almost lived there. What great times, I do not remember ever being bored. There was always someone to play with, and things to explore. And Sunday's at Silver Beach...it was as if we lived in our own little paradise. I am currently living in Dallas, TX, USA, where I am working for a danish freightforwarding company. I would be nice to hear from others that were in Buchanan at this time, send an email. | |||

I worked for Firestone Plantations Co., first in the Cavalla river area and later on at Harbel, where I was divisional superintendent. The time spent in Liberia was one the happiest of our life. Liberian people are gentle and easy going. We left many liberian friends of whom to this day we don´t know their whereabouts. It´s sad to think that the war might have hurt them. Though this page has been designed only for employees of Lamco, let me take the liberty of signing the book. Thanks. Pepe Ortiz | |||

I´ve been on a long "overseas assignment" journey, which started with Lamco and Liberia. I spent 3,5 years in Liberia, working at CSS (telephone group), accompanied by my wife Ann and my children Johan and Åsa. After leaving Liberia we went to Sri Lanka(Skanska Kotmale project). After living the later half of the 80´s in Sweden, I and later Ann, went to Saudi Arabia(Riyadh). In 1995 Ann and I moved to the US(Dallas) where I worked for Ericsson. We are now back in Sweden living in Sölvesborg. We would love to get in touch with "fellow liberians", so please feel free to e-mail. We try to join a re-union get-together every second year(Mot Phut). We also stay in touch with Dujar, the aid organisation that helps the needed people in Liberia. The time we spent in Liberia were in many ways among the best of our lives and has made everlasting impressions on our souls. We will never forget this period of our lives.

My parents Hermann & Karina Ahlers came to Monrovia in 71. My father was working for the Bong Mine Port. My brother Andreas (Mäckie) and I went to the German School in Mamba Point. We often hang round in the North Beach Club, German Club and American Club near our compound / near Tim Blumenthal. As far as I know he has died. We had a great time und we all miss Liberia very much!! Specially the beaches, the Ducor-Hotel-Pool, the swiss brewery with the good old Club Beer, the disco »saloon«, the boat- and fishingtrips and lots of people we have met. I'd love to visit Liberia once again when its safe. It was such a beautifull country! | |||

I still remember vividly our childhood and youth in Yekepa, and sometimes it makes me real sad to think I probably won't see the places again or meet the people I used to know and spend such a good time with. I live in Graz now with my two children, Diana (10) and Björn (2). I'll be really happy to hear from anyone of you for an exchange of news, pictures, and talk about "old times"... | |||

Hi! Nice page. I lived in Liberia for three years, 1984-87. My family lived in Voinjama, Lofa county, but my brother and I attended school in Yekepa. I had Mrs. Milton as homeroom teacher in sixth-grade and she sure made me learn English fast. And to stand straight. :-) I left Liberia 13 years ago, I was fifteen then. If any old friends or foes read this, feel free to write! Right now I live in Umea, Sweden, attending the Umea University of fine arts. | |||

I was truely amazed to find a website about Lamco and Yekepa. I stumbled upon it by accident, just surfing and the curiosity got the better of me. My dad worked for Lamco in the dispatch office for the railroad, his name is David Ridley. We went out to Liberia because of his job. Jespah my nephew also lived with us. It certainly does bring back so many memories. If there is anyone who knew me who wants to get in touch that would be great. Also if there is anyone who has any photos around the time that i lived in Yekepa i would love to get hold of a copy. Thank you so much for providing this great website for us to enjoy | |||

Hi! I lived in Yekepa from 1975 to 1978. Some of you from those days may remember a guy playing trumpet all the time? Well, that was my father Bo. My mother Meeli played golf and tennis and my little brother Jan was looking for golfballs in the bush - almost all the time. I went through school from grade 7 - 9 those years so I have many happy memories of golf, tennis, pool, school, football, pepper soup, youth club, P-market...etc etc. Today I live in the south part of Stockholm. I have two small boys and my lovely wife, Kristina. My mother and father also lives in Stockholm but unfortunately my little brother Jan has left us. He was killed in a car accident in 1995. Killed - by young man, driving on the wrong side of the highway - drunk!!! Life is a bitch at times because the young punk survived. Jans girlfriend and their twins, Max and Ola, survived luckily enough. Heidi, thanks for the wondowful memories that this site brings me! | |||

Great to see such a response to the site, keep 'em comming. I worked as a surveyor for the community. We had great fun at the golf club,swimming pool and go-cart club, I remember Gert Frederiksen (Gummi Gert) was one of the best drivers. We all had a great social life. No T.V.!! I am still in touch with Peter and Rita Black and Graham and Hazel Sully. One of the higlights was when a group of us were invited down to Old Yekepa village for a bucket of cane juice!! My daughter Maria,then 2 years old went to Mrs. Brennons kindergarten. Paul, my son, started golf i Yekepa and is now playing off hcp. 1.4. I only managed to export a lot of golf balls to Guinea. | |||

Hello everybody ! - Hei Heidi ! Nice to see so many people sharing info on Liberia. We lived in Yekepa, Liberia for nearly 1 year only. My father, Sigvald, worked at CSS. Have a lot of memories. Remember snorkeling in the Swimmingpool - looking for money ! - Everything collected was spent on peanuts at e-school next day (remember the roasted peanuts ?) Also have great memories about Kristian. He always had to be a mechanic on his "mini-Honda". The fastest one in Yekepa ? (lol) - As Heidi mention, it was also great fun at the golf course. Remember the "pepper-soup". My mother still makes a copy of it sometimes. I'm married, have 2 children. Best regards to everybody ! Lars Røksund | |||

Hei Heidi! Husker du oss? Vi bodde ikke så langt unna dere, og våre barn Elin, Marius og Lars kjenner du sikkert. Veldig hyggelig å hilse på deg igjen! Du må bringe videre hilsen til dine foreldre. Vi bor nå i Gjerstad nær Arendal. Har kjøpt et hus oppe på heia her. Skal hilse så mye fra Elsa. | |||

Came to L. with my father and mother in 1967. My father Arne was the manager at the supermarket (Storen) in Yekepa. Seeing the pictures from 1998 realy made me sad, the school, the messhall, the tenniscourt. It makes me want to cry. "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."

Det var svært morro å se alle bildene du har samlet fra Buchanan og Yecepa. Jeg arbeidet for LAMCO i Buchanan fra 1968 til 1974. Fra 1975 til 1980 arbeidet jeg for INFIS i Buchanan og Monrovia. I de siste 15 år har jeg arbeidet for STATOIL i Norge ute på en Oljeplattform vest for Bergen, "Gullfaks B". Vi har fremdeles kontakt med folk her i Norge som har arbeidet for Lamco. Du har gjort en kjempejobb med dine Liberia-sider. Mvh Arne Sagnes | |||

At last we (Heidi's mother and father) are here to say hello to all of you! We got our PC to Egil's 60-years birthday (in February) so now it's no excuse for not showing up. It is fantastic to see how many known names and faces there are here on Heidi's pages. We have lived in Spain for the last 13 years, owned a cafe named "La's Kos'os". We sold it 1st of January, but Egil is still working offshore, and he hopes to keep on working for at least another 2-3 years. In the summers we are in Norway (outside Bergen) for about 2 months, fishing and meeting the rest of the family. We send our love to all of you and hope to see many of you at the reunion. Thank you Heidi for all the work you have done to make this possible, we know how much time you have spent on your PC. Greetings to all from Elin and Egil. | |||

I am very happy to see and hear from Mrs. Bobbie Milton with family. Mrs. Milton was a respected and admired teacher who influenced my life in the period 1971-1979, an influence which is still with me every day. Elke was in my grade and Rochelle, who is a little older than us, I had a secret crush on. We were all neighbours in Area R. I miss those good years. Liberia, our friends and my memories will be with me for life, and have an important place in my heart! I now live in Stavanger, the major oil city of Norway. 3 kids, married to Kristin who is an Air Hostess with SAS (gets us around the world). This summer Torbjørn and Lisbeth Ranefell (the Principal) payed us a visit. A good chance to refresh old memories. Everybody; Please E-Mail me, if only for a "hello". | |||

What memories, Thank you Heidi for this website. I spent the best time of my life in Liberia, not a day goes by that my mind drifts away to those times. The freedom that we had as kids growing up in that enviroment. I mostly remember the bush trips we would do with our motorbikes, snakes, scorpions and other animals that we caught . I miss that feel of knowing everyone in the community, the social evenings, golf and tennis tournaments and discos, and Bob Marley . Cruising along Area F on a motorcycle, Racing down the area R hill then on to the dirt road over the bridge passed the shooting range down to secca valley. I remember there is a little river that flows into a damm. We used to bathe there as kids. God I miss those days!!! Hello to everyone that remembers me and my little family. | |||

Does anyone know who was responsible for "The Yekepa Home on the Web" at yekepa.digitalfarmers.com? I just received the following message from the administator of DigitalFarmers.com: "Unfortunately, digitalfarmers.com got hacked. When getting things back in order, the server policies changed somewhat. First of all, web pages on digitalfarmers.com will not start running again unless the owner contacts us first (there used to be quite a few inactive accounts). Are you the keeper of Yekepa? If yes, get back to me and I'll give you the details on how to get things in order. If not, Yekepa is no more unless the owner decides she/he wants things running again." | |||

I have not been back since 1989. The war is over and yet it has not even started for me, because the truth is that until I go back to Liberia I will never fully realize what has happened to my home and how much suffering the people went through - and still are going through. I am looking for Joseph Kormah who lived in Area M (Yekepa) or somewhere close by. He used to work for Mr. Kamal Zahalan in Area D and later in Area F. I am also looking for the Saad family who lived on Jamaica Road, Monrovia. If anyone has any information - please contact me by e-mail. Thank you. God bless and give strength to the people who survived and God forgive those who sat by and watched as thousands of innocent people were slaughtered. They are still watching - in Sierra Leone. | |||

I worked on the railroad as a dispatcher along with David Frost, Peter*, Barry* and Ron Barrett. Close friends with Les and Pam Havard, Peter and Anne Fisher. Undertook original journey to Liberia, and eventually lived next door to Ken Taylor who was sadly killed in the train crash after my wife Philomena and I left. Knew Malcolm Pratt quite well, infact we had dinner at their house once. Great to see all the pictures, many thank to all who have contributed. Charlie and Philomena Smith. 01/01/04 | |||

I was in Liberia with my family (wife Joyce, Adam and Andrew and twins Gillian and Jennifer) from 1976 until 1982, firstly with Lamco at Yekepa (R13) and then at Bong Mine. Wonderful memories, especially of the ex-pats and the beaches. I am greatly saddened by what has happened in recent years, the Liberian people didn't deserve that!! I'd love to contact anyone who remembers us and reminisce. It all seems such a long time ago (it is!!!). | |||

Had read quite a lot of comments on what seems to be an all to familiar perception in that what we all shared was a special place only to come across the pictures recently taken in 2000. I am so gutted to see what it has depreciated into but glad to see so many people making an effort to share each others memories and catch up on old times.

Thank´s a lot for this web-site. It give us all possibility to deal experiences from Liberia. We visited Liberia and Yekepa in Mars 1999. It was a follow-up visit in a feeding and recreation project run by the YMCA in Liberia and supported by the Swedish YWCA-YMCA. People in Yekepa are longing for contacts with "old" friends from the Lamco time. In Mars 99 most people were back from their escape during the war. Most of the family buildings were occupied but most of them were in a terrible status. Yekepa needs help. No electric, no water and drain, a few schools, the hospital still in use but they were missing almost everything. But people still have hope for a better future and they need support. The local YMCA in Yekepa is doing great. Ann and Janne Söderberg | |||

Dear Heidi. My name is Gert Tejlmann, and my wife´s is Ruth. This was very exiting and funny, when we found out from our friends Landschuetzer in Austria, this wonderful website. Unfortunately, we do not know you, but we remember your father very well. If I am not wrong, I mean he worked in typewriter shop. We were in Yekepa from Feb. 1969 to June 1975. I was working as a computer programmer in the computer office, which in the beginning just was a small wooden hut, but later on moved to the new Main Office. My wife was many times acting as management secretary in various departments during vacation time. I was also very active as radio amateur and I had my red/white antenna mast in our garden at F 15. I have also been a member of the Go-cart club, both as driver and as a board member. We, like you and many others, also think, that this was the most wonderful time in our life. There were so many things that made it so. Especially, we were very fund of the climate and that is one thing we miss here in Denmark. We will send you a photo for the guestbook as soon as I succeed in scanning it in and send it by E-mail. I am not yet a specialist in PC computers. Thank you again for your great work with this WEB site. WE have so many times talked about Liberia and all these people we knew and what has happened to this beutiful country. Many regards from Denmark Ruth and Gert Tejlmann | |||

I only recently "discovered" this website and must say I was very surprised and impressed to see so many people still emotionally involved with "their" Liberia. It was really nice to see the names of people I knew and especially the pictures. I only attended the "Swedish School" (old camp) in my first year in Buchanan and did the rest of my education at home through correspondence courses, so I do not remember many of the names of those in the International school photos. However I did recognize some of my old buddies, like Gunnar Coliander, with whom I got into a lot of mischief at times. I had a chance to visit Liberia in 1976 again and I stayed for a few days with Max and Seria Braun (1st loop). However all the people I knew had left by then, still it was interesting to see the place again. I showed your site to my parents (Theo and Riet van Cappellen) who since have passed the info on to other ex Liberians, like Teun and Siska Ruighaver. I think that people for that generation remember even more names and places. We have searched our old photo files and will soon mail some you some. Best regards and keep up this good work | |||

Both my brothers were born at the LAC estate in 62 and 63. I revisited in 63 and 65 for summer hollidays. Since my parents desceased my brothers are asking me the questions on Liberia but I do not have all the answers. If you can give me some details on the LAC estate or know people that lived there please contact me. | |||

Truly the best years of my life were spent in Liberia. I have so many fond memories of growing up in a magical place. I made woderful friends there and feel blessed to have known this country in peace time. It breaks my heart to see what the people and the land have gone through the last decade. I would like to visit again some day and show my husband and children the county I called home for so many years. I hope to hear from anyone who remembers me and who attended the little school at the airport, Farmington School. | |||

Hi all, What a great way to catch up with old friends from Liberia. I have only recently discovered this site & have spent hours reading through guest book entries looking for familiar names. I saw that Rachel Burt posted a birthday party photo in the "free time" photo section in which I appear. Some may remember my father Drago, he used to show movies & DJ at the Country Club, he also ran some pretty wild "curfew parties" from our place. Unfortunately he died a few years ago, my mother Diana lives in Queensland Australia & remarried. If you remember me or my parents feel free to drop me a line. Cheers to you all David Vukos. Great site Heidi well done! | |||

Thank you for providing such a great site of your experience in Liberia. I lived in Liberia from '75 to '77 in Buchanan as a Peace Corps Volunteer teaching in Bassa High School. I married a Liberian women in '77 and after living one year in America, we moved back to Liberian in 79 and stayed until 84 in Bong Mine. My daughter was born in '79 in Bong Mine. My step son, Hans Noa, was born in 71 and attend LAMCO school from 75 to 82. His father, Randell Noa, is German. We move back for Liberia to the U.S. in 84 and have kept in contact with many friends and family in Liberia and the U.S. Hans lived with his father in Germany until '95 and then joined his mother in America. Thanks again. Phil | |||

Our family lived in Buchanan 1974-1977. Cecilia, our eldest daughter, was nine and our youngest daughter, Gisela, was three years old when we arrived. Our son Erik was born at the new hospital in Buchanan in 1977. My husband Kalle worked at the Maintenance Department as co- ordinator and I myself worked parttime as an executive secretary when the ordinary one was on vacation. I also worked with different projects with Birger Johansson and Joel Ekström. I was engaged in the Welfare Organization and different committees arranging outdoor activities and entertainment in the community and during one year I was the Chairman of the Recreation Club. We had a marvellous time in Liberia and the friends we made there are still our closest and dearest. | |||

The Afrika part of the album is also divided into an liberian part and a ghanaian part. Right now I am scanning a phot showing both the golfcourse and our house in Loop1. I have gotten in touch with Uncle Eddie or as he is named, Ed Schultz, thanks to some sweet folks from this page and the Liberia Reunion page. Also for those who might wonder I earlier askerd for information about Cheeta and I now know that she is dead but Herman her mate i still alive and kicking in Flowry Zoo in Tampa Florida. Uncle Eddie is the man that brought the chimps to Ohio together with his family. It just feels amazing. Best wishes to You all //Carina - with my lousy written and very misspelled english. | |||

What a wonderful page and so full of memories. I came to Liberia as a baby, 6 months old. My dad, Helge Wesenlund worked for Lamco och my mom (19 yrs old then), Eva Wesenlund were home with us. My dad is norwegian and my mom is swedish. My sister, Ylva, and brother, Bjarne, are born in Liberia, 1964. They were the first non liberian twins to be born in Liberia and that was quite sensational at that time. Elsie Holm was a friend of my mothers and also "tant" Ulla whom also was my best adult-friend ;) We hade a beutiful "baby" named Cheeta and she was a chimpanzee. She left with an american family who hade Herman (boychimp) and these were both taken to the USA. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows anything about Cheeta, Herman and the family who took them to the US. We left Liberia in 1969 and we sailed with the Aureol to Ghana. She took us to Ghana and there we stayed another 7,5 years. My roots are still in Afrika and the wonderful years in Afrika are part of me forever. Maybe some day I will be able to go "home" Excuse my bad english but the years pass and things ge forgotten. //Regards Carina | |||

Its been a year or 2 since I signed the guestbook so I thought I'd check back in. I think about Yekepa often, even though its been a long time. Great memories growing up in area J. What a special place! The devastation there just kills me. My parents were back there last year (Nov.,2000). I miss my Liberian friends and my years in Yekepa will always have a special place in my heart. Would love to hear from anyone that remembers me. God Bless! | |||

I was a 2 year missionary, single, and straight out of college when I came to Yekepa with the Baptists under Earl and Jane Williams. I taught in the LAMCO govt. schools as well as helped with the church. My years in Yekepa were some of the best years of my life. I now occasionly cook up some Liberian "stew", collard greens on rice, for my wife and 3 daughters and tell stories of my days there. Thanks for the pictures, though seeing the school and pool in such condition is certainly shocking to my memory. | |||

My father worked for LAMCO. Both my brother and myself attended the International School. And, of course, we went to the Swimming Pool, golf club, etc. I think that my time in Liberia was the happiest. And it persuaded me to come back to W Africa.

I vividly remember a fun childhood in Yekepa playing football, tennis, swimming and attending a wonderful school! Great memories include: Riding bikes to the Go Cart track and the waterfall in Secca Valley, camping on the Old Mine Road, and climbing the "F" Water tower. I remember many of my classmates including Heidi, Anna, Herbert, Christian, Michael, Stephen, Maria, Ulrich and many more. | |||

Curiosity killed the cat. Just took a look around the web site and saw a picture of the gym at Buchanan School. Remember jumping off the upper levels into the sand pits at night while it was still under construction and getting chased off by parents under the weather from anothe party night. Think I was with Steve Hughes et al at the time. Too many similar nights and days such as this too remember the detail from so long ago. Its a great site and a real blast from the past. Anyone with more photos should post them on. Its a great memory blast. Cheers to everyone who was there at the time. What a time it was. Any pictures of the old Nautical Club?? | |||

Liberia will always be in my heart as long as I live! I attended Lamco International School Buchanan from grade 4 to grade 9. I would like to get in contact with my class mates. The world is so small after the internet. Lynne, Cheryl, Karen, Steven, Irene and Åsa where are you? I have seen disturbing photos from Buchanan 2004. The beautiful place we all grew up is gone forever. I think we must remember it as it was...... | |||

Read about this site in the lokal newspaper. A woman had found her childhood lifesaver. My first thought was ,WOW. The first 3 hours I spent reading through the guestbook .It was great fun seeing all names that somehow still floats around in the memorypool. A bit harder to remember the faces I must admit. The memories of Buchanan are the most vivid ,but sometimes they seem unreal. Was it really that free? Did we have all that fun ? Was it really sooo long ago? YES , YES, and maybe. Send me a word if you disagree or just send me a word. Heidi.To you I send my best wishes and a big hug. Thank you. | |||
