My parents were protestant missionaries in French Soudan (later the Republique of Mali). I have often said, in referring to my childhood, that Mom thought that God was looking after me, and God thought that Mom had me under her wing.

My brother died suddenly and later we lost a sister. I have two graves to visit sometime, if I ever get the chance to return to Mali.
