David and Margaret Neely share their memories of living in Cameroon from 1949 to 1972 by providing a voice over narration of photographs taken of children, friends, and places during their life in Cameroon.
Here are 72 letters written from 1929, when he was at Hope School, through 1946 just before his marriage. The letters from 1933 to 1936 were written from Lewiston, Pennsylvania where he was staying with his grandfather. The letters from 1937 through 1940 are from Wooster when he was in high school staying at the "Inkie" (1937 to 1939) and when he was a freshman in college (1940). The 1945 and 1946 letters are to his mother and sisters Ruth and Jo when they returned to Cameroon after the death of his father.
