Family, including his son, IIRC. I think I read that his wife is American.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Fatalities were in Aferica. This guy had to know he was heavily exposed to Ebola. But he came here anyway. He was in Aferica and helped his land lord who had two family members die, getting daughter to a hospital. My question is why is he here? Why does he have a land lord in Aferica. I am also curious about his religion.
Thank you for tracking down this info. It’s still important, regardless of where it occurred but at the time I read it I thought it would be...oh...say...20% worse if they were here! Thanks again.
Sorry again. It would be 2000% worse if it happened here, which is why I was so alarmed at first.
I know, I agree. I left off the sarc tag because I think they are just about equal in severity whether they occurred there or here - contagious means contagious and hearing “oh well, at least it happened over THERE” doesn’t give me much comfort at all because he traveled over HERE. (aside from the obvious -I don’t want anyone dying anywhere)
Going from bad to worse. Patient vomitted all outside his apartment the other night. Rueter’s reports most neighbors are Somalian, Nigerian, Liberian and some Bosnians. So a pretty good guess they are Muslims.

Mr. Duncan had lived in the neighborhood, called 72nd SKD Boulevard, for the past two years, living by himself in a small room that he rented from the Williams couple. He had told that them and his neighbors that his son lived in the United States, played baseball, and was trying to get him to come to America.
For the past year, Mr. Duncan had worked as a driver at Safeway Cargo, the Liberian customs clearance agent for FedEx, said Henry Brunson, the company’s manager.
In an office with a large FedEx sign outside the building in downtown Monrovia, Mr. Brunson said that Mr. Duncan quit abruptly on Sept. 4, giving no reason. But Mr. Brunson said he knew that Mr. Duncan had family members in the United States as well.
“His sister came from the United States and he asked for a day off so that he could go meet her at the Mamba Point Hotel,” Mr. Brunson said, mentioning a hotel popular among foreigners. “He quit a few weeks after that.”
