The Early Days
Patch
The Kagnew Home Page has had very little input about the very early days of American involvement in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Terry Hicks overheard some talk in a restaurant and in turn met Jim Hatfield who was there in the early 40s! Jim is legally blind but has a computer setup that allows him to surf the web and he's found the Kagnew page. He has also agreed to pass along his stories of the very "early days" to you so I hope you enjoy reading about something very few of us know much about.

If there is anyone else out there that would like to also add their stories to this area please use the link below and send them in.
