Jim's Cousin
What a wonderful article. I found it while I was looking up some information on Cameroon. Jim and I are first cousins. I grew up in Eau Claire, Wis. and when Uncle Oscar & Martha, Jim & Karen, or Philip & Cece would be in the states they would often stop at our home when they traveled between the Twin Cities and Madison, Wis. I always enjoy seeing pictures from Cameroon. It brings the stories back to me. Thanks for sharing.
