Re: [Killietalk] geryi

Scott, I can't even find my way around Pittsburgh, and we have not changed 
the name of a community or disputed borders as long as I can remember. . 
All I know is that when Oliver came down to speak in Pitsburgh, he sketched 
me a map.  Three whole lines showing a river border and a tributary stream 
next to a refugee camp and that stream is where he collected.   He described 
a river border between Guinea and something, maybe siera leone but more 
likely liberia.  Going by memory from a few years back and a momentary 
sketch of 3 lines on the inside lid of a cardboard box and a verbal 
description it must have been liberia (sure sounds more like nigeria than 
sierra leone)
