MY CORRESPONDENCE WITH DON GRAHAM,

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF THE WASHINGTON POST

AFTER MEETING WITH HIM AT THE NFID AWARDS DINNER

 

Dear Don:

 

I appreciated your real interest as we met at the NFID Awards Dinner.  As an Africanist, perhaps I am afflicted with the Rhett Butler romanticism of dedication to causes already lost!

 

I had promised you a follow-up on the human face of African AIDS and commiserated joy from my recent return from Malawi, and that is contained in one series of rough chapters I attach herewith.

 

If interested to follow this up further, I have a Home Page at http://gwu.edu/~gwg and also wrote a book on my experiences in the Congo, another of the continental "garden spots," entitled "Out of Assa:

Heart of the Congo." (www.3hawks.com)

 

 I have left my contact points on the attached signature page.

 

I appreciate your interest in reaching out to these voiceless fellow travelers in the darkening continent as they struggle in anonymity with a very complex  human condition.

 

Thanks!

 

Glenn W. Geelhoed
