| I have just written a book about my experiences at
Kagnew Station in the early 70’s and when I returned to Asmara and Kagnew
Station in 2001. The story centers around a little girl I met there when I was
playing golf and how she and her family have impacted my life. I wrote the book
for her family, but a few of my friends from Kagnew have read it and liked it
very much, so I am letting you know about the book. There are a number of pictures from the 70’s. In 2001, I was able to get on Kagnew and took many pictures of old station. There are also a number of recent pictures from Asmara, the road to Massawa, and Massawa. If you would like to learn a little more about the book, you can use the following link: The author's royalties are being donated to Letekidan's children and to the Comboni nuns who help with the orphanage in Asmara. |
| I would like to post something for sale on your web
site if possible. It is a recording of the AFRTS radio station broadcast I made
while I was there. I have some great ads and lots of music from that time. The
date as best I can guess is the “fall” of 1971. I had CD’s (4)
made from the recording I have on reel-to-reel tape deck. I am making it
available to anyone that would like to have a set. I only want to recover the
costs of making/shipping etc. of the CD’s. I am asking $20.00 for the
CD’s and any profits that are made will be sent to the USO. Tandum Associates Commercial & Residential Lending 972-943-9513 (office) 214-405-7812 (cell) 972-758-1662 (fax) |
