Personal Comment

A heartfelt thank you to the Northern Marianas Humanities Council for supporting this work.  I did not realize how difficult the job would be of working with this collection; I had left everything in boxes for 30 and more years for a reason.  Without NMHC's support all this material would never have been made available to the NMI and the general public.  On one level, it helped greatly to know that a group of people cared about preserving and having access to this material.  On another level, I did not have the skills to design and do the technical/computer work.  Michael Sousa proved to be the perfect person to teach and assist me.
​

It was my privilege to live on Rota and Saipan and to be part of those communities and their histories.  My hope is that friends and families will enjoy seeing this slice of history.
