One of my colleagues, the last to arrive, has resigned and tonight will be headed back to his home on the west coast of the US after a visit with friends and family in Turkey. It appears his teaching assignments did not materialize as he expected-- and remaining tasks were not sufficiently engaging for him. In addition, he came after the rest of us because of a health challenge, so he decided to call it quits. Even though my contact with Steve and the group in Kano has been limited, he will be missed. Steve (and his wife, I think) converted to Islam some years ago during his stay in Ethiopia and has added to my understanding of the religion. Well connected in diplomatic circles, he was instrumental in coordinating a vital security briefing prior to the elections.
