Congratulations Sam,

I have enjoyed your forum topics and must say that your biography brought back many memories good and bad of the 2 years I spent in the Congo as a Peace Corps Volunteer.

Life on the African Continent proposes many challenges for it's indigenous peoples that many in my country have difficulty understanding. Exploitation by the many outside powers has taken it's tole apon the African scene. I served with my wife from 1973 through 1975 and have a daughter born there named Veronica Malaika. I do long to return to Africa and in many ways have never really left in my heart.

Sam you keep up the good works and enjoy your week as our star. There are ay that enjoy our works here at ALP and we all look for many more aspects of your life and our world that will be sure the inspire much interesting thaught.

Your Freinds,

Rick and Marilyn Martin
