Newsletter #40: February, 2019 TEAA (Teachers for East Africa Alumni) Newsletter No. 40, January 2019. Please send any changes to your contact information and/or items for the newsletter to Ed Schmidt, 7307 Lindbergh Dr., St. Louis, MO 63117, USA, 314-647-1608, <[email protected]>. !This is the 20th anniversary issue. The newsletter circulation is currently 389, of which 64 are UK TEAs, and 21 are guests. The remainder are former US TEAs, TEEAs and/or their family members. TEAA website. New and past information can be found on the TEAA website, tea-a.org that Henry Hamburger continues to faithfully keep up to date. There you’ll find “What’s Hot?” including photos. Brooks’ book reviews, story project entries, past newsletters, and much more are also there. ! In this issue: President’s Message, Brooks Goddard TEEA-UK annual meeting, by Clive Mann News from East African Head Teachers and Principals Cattle Keeping, by Mike Rainy Feeding the Basketball Gene, by Bruce Franklin Exploring a Cave in Kenya’s Meru District in 1965, by Dagmar Telfer Muthamia Culture Shock, by Joel Watne Our Best/Worst Experiences in East Africa, by Joel Reuben Your Stories We’ve Heard From You Friendship Demands: Remembering Jay Jordan, by Brooks Goddard The Unusual Story of Hal Sondrol, by Ed Schmidt Obituaries (omitted on web version) Directory Update (omitted on web version) President’s Message, Brooks Goddard Dear Rafikis, !As I follow literature about Africa written by all sorts of people, I find more and more people using such platforms as CreateSpace to draft their own reflections. I continue to have great respect for personal voice and encourage you all to write, whether or not you publish. I found satisfaction writing the description of my wave 4B, colleague, Jay Jordan. It helped me understand what it was about him that I loved, what difficulties life presented for him, and how I found humanity in both Jay’s life and my efforts to capture it. I found challenge in finding appropriate and righteous words, perhaps not perfect words. !Another venture is finding homes for books and artifacts. I have found that there is no good repository for our “stuff.” Well, live long enough and maybe our grandchildren will be happy with a few books, pieces of kanga, and the odd Samburu gourd. If you have mingi books, try your local used book dealer. We in Boston have a fundi, Ken Gloss, at Brattle Street Book Shop. I have started to explore Afro-Centric schools, especially home schooling institutions. For your slides I recommend mass digitization which you may have already done. With the demise of DVDs and the emergence of “the cloud,” I am totally bewildered. My approach is two-fold: put the best into books and put everything you want to keep on big-capacity flash drives. For kitchen thrills you might consider a digital picture frame, then you can loop <https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2kTYlvwCb4> all you want. I remind you that there is a Teachers for East Africa Alumni FaceBook page and a Friends of Tanzania/Marafiki wa Tanzania page, as well as East Africa-related FB pages. !1968 was a special year. I returned to a country divided, but that division was not what animated me; I had my own problems. After 3 and a half years out of the country and having experienced TEA and the Hippie Trail I felt that I existed a foot above the pavement from May of ’68 to December of ’69. Courtship and marriage grounded me until July 1972, when Jeanie and I took off for 11 months going from Europe to Egypt to Turkey, overland to India, by boat to Mombasa, by plane with many stopovers to London, and then to Boston. In the last half of 1973 we returned to our teaching jobs, got pregnant, and bought a house. My, my how a body gets around. Fifty years on from May of 1968, that same sense of disconnect is palpable. So it is to personal missions that we turn. Our student at MAAsae Girls School in Monduli, TZ, is Tumaini Yuda, who in 2019 will complete her 6th form work. Tumaini and others are sponsored by Operation Bootstrap Africa/OAB in Minneapolis, MN, which writes me that they still have 35 girls needing sponsoring. For more see <https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=E1O6XZ6Q96Y>. !Ed and Henry join me in wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year. TEEA-UK annual meeting, by Clive Mann !On 22nd August 2018 TEAA-UK held its annual meeting at the Knights Templar pub on Chancery Lane on the western edge of the City of London. The 'Steering Committee' had selected this from a number of pubs in the City, and it was well-known to some of us. The building is a superb old bank converted very tastefully by Wetherspoon's public house chain. Not only are the surroundings splendid but the food and drink are very reasonably priced. It was not too crowded. Further east in the City the hostelries are patronised by folk in the finance industry who seem to take very long liquid lunches which can result in standing room only. !Some of the group arrived before midday in order to secure a table, which as it happens, was only just big enough for our group which became eleven. Clive (TEA 1964) & Sachiko Lovelock from Japan, and Richard (TEA 1963) and Updesh Porter from Ealing, west London, attended for the first time. Jonne Robinson, Larry Woelk, Dave Marshall, Fred Nixson, Bob Gurney, Dave Smith & myself (Clive Mann) completed the party. Three sent apologies for absence, and two who suggested they would join us failed to do so. !We toasted absent friends. Some of us had not met for almost fifty years. There was lots of yarning about the past, about what had happened in intervening years, and about hopes for the future. Strangely, given our age, nothing was said about NOT meeting next year. There was never a lull in the conversation, and when we dispersed at about four pm there seemed so much more still to discuss -- next time! !The 2019 gathering will be in August at 'The Barrow Boy and Banker' which is on the south bank of the Thames just a short walk from London Bridge underground and mainline station. [Contact Clive for details.] News from East African Head Teachers and Principals !Okunya Milton in southwest Kenya on Nov. 14. Dear friends, We are doing well on this side of the world. It has been a while since I updated you about my going ons. You are already aware that I was transferred to take up a newly established school 35 kilometers away from Migori among the Kuria people who are known for cattle rustling and circumcision of girls who are then married off soon after. !Ours is a mixed school with hardly any facilities but I am soldiering on and enjoying every bit of it. For the last week I have been putting up a gate and a temporary office in readiness for next school term. All around me are boys and girls of school- going age with either babies in their arms or heavy with babies. My crusade since I came is to seek all to come back to school even if it means having husbands and wives in class. I already have a few who are promising to come next term . !This school particularly excites me because I think I have a pioneering spirit. This morning I am planting some trees in the compound. !Next week I will be Nairobi for a month long grading of national exams which are currently being done. Just three weeks ago I was visiting local primary schools encouraging girls to proceed with school even after circumcised, the season for this begins next month. Exciting times we live in! !Maxwell Engola in Lira, Uganda, in Nov. and Dec. Hello Ed, The family is recovering from a breakdown but getting along fairly now. Pamela got serious attack of pneumonia that made her loose her senses for almost a week but later recovered on very strong medication. However, we had to lose the baby she was carrying. But gladly she is recovering fast and will be well soon. !I send you regards from the O-level candidates who successfully completed their exams yesterday. The rest of the students will start their end of year exams on Wednesday 21st and will break on 30th Nov. ![early Dec] Am glad to report that we closed the term successfully on Friday. The holidays will go until 4th Feb 2019, however, we shall have the S4 candidates reporting early on the 7th Jan 2019 to give us time to start preparing them well. Am on my way to Kampala for UCE UNEB marking exercise that may run for about 2 weeks. Cattle Keeping, by Mike Rainy ![Mike and Judy Rainy have lived in Kenya since Mike’s TEA years, built careers, and raised 3 children. They live in the house they built in the Malepo Hills just outside of Kajiado, 60 miles southeast of Nairobi, just off the road to the TZ border at Namanga. The following article is based on a Facebook response Mike gave to someone who asked him to explain his keeping of cattle. Specifically, the following was posed to Mike, "Maybe you can explain to the uninitiated why you keep cattle. Seriously, is it so the neighbors don't start grazing on your land? Is there enough rainfall in that area to buffer their environmental impacts? The culture of cattle destroyed the rivers of the American Southwest and now they seem to be destroying any hope for conservation in Kenya.
