The three new mines are at Tokadeh, Gangra and Yuelliton - all in the Nimba area. Mittal Steel Liberia is also constructing a concentrator at Tokadeh, which is 30 kilometers south of the deposit that was mined from the 1960s to the 1980s by Lamco. Mittal is targeting to have production of over 12 million tons of ore per year. Production could start late 2009 or early 2010. They will rehabilitate about 300 kilometers (200 miles or so) of railway between this mine area and the port of Buchanan. The project also includes rehabilitating the port. This sounds fantastic! Maybe we can have a reunion in Libera in a few years?! | |||

There will be mining in Nimba again!! Rotterdam/Luxembourg, December 11, 2006 - The Government of Liberia and Arcelor Mittal are pleased to announce that they have successfully concluded the review of the mining development agreement signed in 2005. This landmark agreement will bring the country investment of over one billion US dollars and is expected to generate about 3,500 direct jobs and about 15,000 to 20,000 indirect jobs in Liberia by the time full mining production is realized. With this iron ore mining agreement, the Government and Arcelor Mittal will be partners in jumpstarting economic recovery and development for Liberia. President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf noted: "With this agreement, which is consistent with the principles that attract and sustain foreign investment in Liberia, it is clear to the international private sector that Liberia is open for business". Responding Mr. Lakshmi Mittal, President and CEO of Arcelor Mittal, noted: "I am happy that the Government of Liberia and Arcelor Mittal have reviewed the Mineral Development Agreement jointly in good faith and have agreed to changes which allow the project to move forward. This will enable the economy of Liberia and the people of Liberia to benefit significantly. We will now focus on getting the job of reviving the mine accelerated" | |||

Hi there, I'm looking for anyone who might have known my parents, Maureen and Stephen John Beswick from their time in Yekapa. Here's what I know: My Mum, Maureen, was originally from Manchester and moved to Liberia after being in Zambia for a couple of years around 1984 I think. She was then married to Mark Rathbone and they had two children, Sharon and Sheila. I believe Mark worked in mining and my Mum worked at a pool bar. My Dad, Steve, was from Derby and moved to Liberia after leaving the Navy to work for Lamco as an engineer. He was married to a lady called Sandy. I think he arrived in about 1984/5 time. Obviously, Maureen and Steve left their respective partners and married each other, and they had me! I'm pretty sure they left in late 1986. I'd be ever so grateful if anyone who remembers them at all could get in touch. Thanks! | |||

I am so excited to get connected to this wonderful website. I was born in Yekeap. My father Joseph Bleh worked for LAMCO from 1964-1977. I lived with my parents in Yekepa Area "O" House # 36. I was 12 years old when my father was paid off in 1977. As you know the war affected all of us. I fled to the Ivory Coast and Ghana, but the good thing is that I acquired university education. My wife Susannah and I moved with our children to Yekepa in 2011 after serving as missionaries in Guinea for six years. Interestingly my wife was also born in Yekepa in the same area "O". But I never knew her until we got married. However, our parents knew each other. It was very pitiful when we returned to Yekepa. Yekepa was badly destroyed. But we praise God that the new company is trying its best to give the people hope. One of the needs that we say was the lack of day care school. So we open a day care for in the Yekeap community. We have some kids attending the center. We are planning to build a campus to host the day care. Parents are happy that there is a day care. We love Yekepa and we see some of our childhood friends. It is just wonderful to recollect our memories. I hope you will get to come one of thes days!! | |||

Hello everyone my name is Antonette Clarke. I left Liberia when I was 10 in 1989.I used to live in Lamco with my family. Because of the war I lost contact with my family. I finally met my mom again for the first time in 1999. I try so hard to find my father and since he and mom were no together because she had remarried and he remarried before the war my mom could not give me any information on him or his family location.I really hope and pray one day I will get to know his side of the family. Last information I know is he died in 2000 but he had another daughter and I have been trying to find her ever since.If anyone knows who Anthony E.B Clarke is orany info onhis family please I’m begging you to help me find his family who is also my family. He used to work as the school superintendent Lamco school system for many years.He died in Monrovia so I don’t know if that is where his family is now living. I will be getting married soon and it will mean so much to me to finally share my life with the other half of my family..I now live in Denver, Colorado. If you know any information please contact me mybigday2011@gmail.com. Thanks so very much. | |||

On January 2nd this year, my father, Bjørn Ekrem, at the age of 77, passed away. He died from the injuries he acquired in a car accident he was in on December 17th. His friend and companion in life, Inger, died instantly in the accident, while my father lost consciousness and later died, never having been awake. Up until the time of the accident, my father led an active and fulfilling life, and was in very good health. This fact was our consolation in the very difficult time while he lay unconscious, as it was, and still is, after his death. We miss him. | |||

Hi all friends and former LAMCO'ers. (Reentry to update my e-mail address) I first came to LAMCO Buchanan as a consultant in 1985 to reprogram some control systems for the washing plant. At that time I only stayed for four months, but when I been back in Sweden for a couple of months I was asked If I'd like to come and work for LAMCO so I went back to Buchanan in June -86 and stayed for two years, and I loved it and got a lot of good friends. I worked for the electrical department as senior foreman, in charge of installation, repair and maintenance on the plant from car-dumper to ship loader. I miss my time in Liberia and I often tell friends about the life down there. Have a good time and hope we’ll meet some day. Jan Bulér (Ericson) | |||

Surfing on the net I found out a photo of the past: It was me, with a funny paper hat on my head, at the bithday party of Robert Van Kappelen....what a shock to be back in the past, suddenly, something like 50 years ago! This is a very goog idea to have a virtual meeting place were we can look for classmates and friends of the period we past in our "Beloved Liberia". I hope to read from someone of you who meet, in those terrific years, that young, red haired, italian boy called GIUSEPPE......looking forward. Thank's to the web desiner and web master. | |||

It was my little sister Sharon(Grant)Masson that told me about this site. What a fantastic idea with so many great memories. It would be great to get in touch with anyone who remembers me from that time. I did spot Sandra(Konradsson) who was really good friends with Sharon, and was wondering if Sandra could let her big brothers Johnny and Charlie know that I'm asking after them. It would also be great if we could arrange a UK reunion some time in the near future. All the very best to everyone. Colin | |||

Hi I have just come back from my first reunion with some of my friends from this wonderful time.I was told about this web page and it surely brings back good memories. Bushwalking, bat and snake catching, canoe trips, James Bond movies at Nautical club, swinmming and diving at the baeutiful beaches, judo training with Henry, my first kiss, My mother, Bjoerg, brother Tore and sister Kjersti left Buchanan in 1973. My father Edvin, stayed on until 89/90, when he had to flee across the border due to the heavy fighting. I have since then been back to Africa several times. Botswana (2yrs) Malawi (1yr), Somalia with UNHCR (3 months), Ghana (4 years) and Namibia (3 years). I have now spent 14 years in Africa and I still love it. We came back to Norway last year (2010). I have three kids, oldest is 9 years and youngest is 2 years. Hopefully, I have managed to give them the same experience as my parents gave me in those early years. br Erik (Hennes) Forsberg Please feel free to contact me if you recognize me.

Yesterday I saw a documentary on the Dutch television about the behaviour of apes. In that documentary were interviews with Adriaan Kortlandt. I was his assistant for about 4 years. I still am in regular contact with him (he's now 88 years old, and finishing his autobiography). The documentary made me think about the year 1986, in which Kortlandt and I visited Guinea (Bossou) and Liberia (Yekepa and surroundings) for studying the tool-use (cracking nuts with stone hammers and anvils) of wild-living chimpanzees. And then I (naively) wondered whether LAMCO Nimba would still exist. Alas no! I still remember H.N. Bas Koenen's remark about the extremely good condition of the roads in the direction of Guinea: "In case of trouble we want to get out fast enough". I do hope that many people have succeeded, I've got no idea when it all went wrong (1995?). A few things I still remember from our 3-week visit to Liberia and Guinea are the arrival at Robertsfield airport, the guest house in (I think) Buchanan (with a 100 decibel airconditioner in our bedroom :-), the train ride (I think with John Pervola) to Yekepa, and the fabulous guest house in Yekepa. One of the managers (Pervola?) kept a chimpanzee and a leopard in cages. The chimp was so jealous that we had our attention on the leopard, that he threw stones at us! Yekepa was our home base for a 2-weeks visit to Bossou, just across the border. After one week dr. Kortlandt fell ill and he went back to Yekepa. In Bossou I got regular visits from the people of Lamco-Nimba, they once even brought a barrel filled with cold fresh water and ice cubes! The last week of our expedition was in Liberia. We looked for chimpanzees in the surroundings of a hill called Gba. I indeed found tracks of them, including "workshops" for cracking nuts. On the last day we visited the mine. As a graduate in geology I was very impressed with that huge hole in the mountain. From what I swiftly read in the guest book I understand that John Pervola passed away and that Bas Koenen is still alive and doing well. I understood from Kortlandt that Yekepa also was his home-base for earlier expeditions to Bossou, from the sixties onwards. But the main thing I remember from those 3 weeks to Africa, is that I fell in love with that amazing continent and with the people who live there. So thank you for this web site! Ewald Holzhaus | |||

Per and I would like to come into contact with people who have close connections with anybody in Liberia or who have been there recently. We intend to travel to Liberia this year. Our son Reinar went to school in Yekepa and our daughter is born in Yelepa and went to school in Buchanan. I am taking at present a Master degree in "Forced Migration and Refugee Studies" at the American University in Cairo and intend to have a look how Liberia and especially Yekepa and Buchanan and try to find out what happened to the people there during and after the civil war, with the possibilities to make this my thesis. What happended to our friends from the hospital in Buchanan in Yekepa?. We learnt that Dr. Sirleaf died in may 2007 but have had not other news. We also know that Fritz Massaquoi was still living in the US but this is some years ago. I hope to have some response to my letter. You can write in Swedish. We have not forgotten this wonderful language. Jutta and Per Gravesen | |||

Hi! Lived in Buchanan, went to school, 3rd grade in the movie room, near the old Mess hall. 4th grade in the house opposite the Mess hall beside the mini golf course. We went home in May -1963. My father John first worked in the Mess hall, later he worked at the Vianini camp were all the bachelors lived. My mother Anne-Marie, worked at the Philips camp. I have a younger brother, Hans, he went to Pre School. I have many very wonderful memories from our stay in Liberia. I had a monkey, a mangabee, called Jacko and many other animals. I learned to swim at the old lighthouse, and I almost drowned at the suicide beach. Lucky for me someone jumped in the water and saved me. I never got to thank that man properly and that has bothered me a lot. When I think back, there are some many things that I enjoyed. Going down to Waterside in the afternoon to buy roasted peanuts and look into all the shops, all those mystic scents. Going into the bush, walking with Berry Cola and his cows. Staying out all Sunday on one of the beaches on the east side. Riding in the cabin of the locomotive, going home after a visit in Nimba. Or when the rain came; I remember on afternoon, we had stopt at the airstrip, the rope was up, and we all got out of the bus because it was hot. Standing there waiting, the rain came, big wet drops. In a couple of minutes, we were all soaking wet, the drops bounced up knee-high. Most of all I miss, Ylva Jonasson, a class mate and Jan Eklund, class mate and neighbour. Of cause I miss a lot of other persons and friends. If any one has a memory of me, most people don’t, please write and say hallo. Maybe you remember my parents, they are still living in Stockholm and Bålsta. Now may I wish you a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year. Does any one remember the White foam we sprayed on the mosquito net?

My childhood in Yekepa was by far the best part of my life!!!! It's really hard for people around me to understand what I mean when I talk about the freedom we kids had to run amuck, explore, build camps, climb trees, swim, horse ride, play Golf etc i could go on and on. My brother was born out there but we left when he was three so he doesn't remember, i've tried explaining but he does'nt understand what a great life it was. I maybe female but I was definately one of the lads... I have so many memories of my mum trying to make me wear girlie things but how can you climb a tree in a dress? She gave up in the end. Please anyone out there if you remember me get in contact it would be great to catch up and chat about the old times... | |||

I lived in Buchanan in Loop 3 with my younger(but uglier) brother Steven and my parents - Ray & Dot. We spent a lot of our time either at the golf/tennis club and the nautical club. What a fantastic web site this is. The memories just come flooding back. Just to see some of my old friends faces again on the school photos brought a huge smile to my face. The way of life, the friends we made, the whole lifestyle is something that I will always hold close to my heart. If only my own chidren could understand how it was living in Liberia and maybe have some of it for themselves. Unfortunately that wil probably never happen. If some of you guys from the class of 74/75 grade 6 are out there - then please feel free to drop me a line. There are many others as well who may remember my family and I. Hope to hear from you soon. As for myself, I have been married for almost 20 years now with a wonderful wife(Chris) and three geat kids(Jamie 18, Lee 16 and Becky 12). I am currently working offshore in the Oil and gas industry as a mechanical technician based in the Irish Sea just off Blackpool in the UK. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Take care all. Tony. | |||

My grandmother ran the Liberian Red Cross when Tolbert was overthrown. Aside from my family's close relations with a long line of Liberian founders and presidents, my father was an acting ambassador in Japan. To say the least, we had to leave before being hunted down. Politics were less than desirable while I lived in Liberia, but they only deteriorated after a few family members and I left. I still struggle with how the coup of 1980 was allowed to happened. I had a friend named Bihia. I don't remember her last name because she was like a sister to me and her last name might as well been my own. I've lost many family members since then to the chaos there; but my family remains in Liberia, fighting for a land they feel is their home and destiny. | |||

Hi all, I will not renew my account at Brinkster from May 2012, this means that it will not be possible to make any new entries to the guestbook. The "New" and "Old" guestbook will be possible to view here on www.ourliberia.com, until I decide to not renew the domain name too. Facebook is the new place to go to find and be up-to-date with old Lamco friends, and I can recommend a lot of nice pages/groups :-) Thank you, each and every one of you, for all your kind words and positive feedback during these 14 years! I have really enjoyed and appreciated it! All the best, always! Heidi | |||

Hello everyone. I would like to say thank you to Heidi and all for creating this wonderful site. This brought tears to my eyes when i read your introduction. I really miss Lamco. I lived with my grandparents, the Rancys in area F and when we left at the end of 1980 to move to Monrovia, it was like a whole new world. The experinces and culture of Lamco is one that we could never fully describe to anyone and they would gain a sense of understanding and appreciation unless they shared in those expreinces. I hope AcelarMittal can really assist in rebuilding and making it close to the Lamco that we know so that some of us may return home with our families. | |||

Tubman street, Silver Beach and LAMCO are few of the memories that stand out from Buchanan. Parents were missionaries in the mid to late 70s and 80s. There is still a part of Liberia that will always be home to me. Thanks for the website and the chance to connect. | |||
