Wonderful pics, Doug! My favorites are "Attendants to the Fon of Nso" where the group of men are laughing and secondly, the picture of the little girl looking back over a bench in what appears to be a church. Both photos seem to capture the essenes of a moment. Well done! These are GREAT- I didn't capture half of what you did- you've got a great eye! We visited the Fon of Nso and enjoyed time with the local SDO and Lord Mayor in June 2008. Did you see the local library near the Fon's palace? Honesdale Rotary Club is working to provide funds along with the Himalayan Institute for that library to expand it to two levels and provide resources that have not been seen in that region until now. Keep up the great photography! --brian

I am so glad to see these faces. Our family recently traced our heritage to cameroon. I am beginning my research on the region, and can see a strong resemblence to the people in myself. Thank you!

Hey Doug Chaffee, It feels so nice to view photos of Cameroon faces. I come from Belo Kom. May God almighty continue to help your family to preach the Gosple through Healing as your family started in our country Cameroon. I have work in Banso Baptist hospital as a maintenance technician for eight years and I wish to let you know I am proud of what Banso Baptist Hospital in the CBC Health Board is doing in the lives of those Cameroonian Faces. Richard and Family in North Carolina.

Great photos! Do I know you, Doug? There was a Doug at Ononobeta, but maybe he had a different name. Also, who is Bizz? I knew a Bizz Pendell, and I have been trying to get a hold of her. Cheers. Larry Brook

great photos...

Such a joy to see these pictures and this Fon. I'm visited another older one back in 1963. As a Peace Corps Volunteer, I briefly stayed in the stone guest house the German's built nearby. I kept hoping I'd see a shot of it in your collection. So many fond memories. I have another picture of my husband and I with another Fon but I can't remember who it was!

Doug...these are wonderful images. With your permission I would like to use a few as background images for a Lenten Service focusing on World Missions. Would you be so kind as to drop me an email with your permission; daryl.r.hogbin@charter.net Thanks!

Doug, these shots capture the essence of Cameroonians and helps me understand why our Canadian missionaries there call these people their friends. Blessings!

Great gallery Doug. I love these shots telling a lot about life. V of course. Happy new year from Paris, Fred.

Hi Doug, Incredible photos. I feel as if I just went home for the evening. Thank you so much for sharing these with an old school mate from Ononobeta. Who's the cutie greeting an old friend?

Markus Lemke		27-Jul-2006 20:27
Hi, Doug - loved these shots. They go beyond evocative, especially for this kid who grew up there. They capture the essence of both the hardships and the boundless joy of the Nso people especially. Nice to see some old friends too. - Markus Lemke

Hi Doug, absolutely love it! Just relived my trip to that beautiful place! You do know the "Bee keeper's" name? He's just one of the many people I did NOT get to greet. Marlis
