Her friend and colleague Halvdan Jakobsen is visiting Uyole right now and was trying to find his books and notes but much of it has gone missing unfortunately. Halvdan from Norway has a guest house with his son(?) at Kigoma, Jakobsen's Beach.

So far, no information. With a bit of luck, I shall be able to visit Uyole later this year, and see if there are people there still taking care of it.

She was with SIDA at Uyole so I don't remember too many details but we came to visit in 1980 and you won't forget that face! https://www.facebook.com/426496950846206/posts/1846593078836579/<br />Josef Nedstamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06314587470778410302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-431562207747250402.post-59104755020591611282018-12-31T18:52:00.650+00:002018-12-31T18:52:00.650+00:00Many thanks for this Stephen, with all that extra ...Many thanks for this Stephen, with all that extra information, including your own artistic role! You can't imagine how much that little guide meant to me. Good to know that Father Phil's material went to Uyole. I'm guessing that it was your father who diagnosed and treated me for giardiasis at Mbeya Hospital in 1981, and I quite possibly met your mother when I went to your house for Martin Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12861269342303762201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-431562207747250402.post-49420676539548837722018-09-21T10:42:00.512+01:002018-09-21T10:42:00.512+01:00Lovely to come across this as I grew up in Mbeya a...Lovely to come across this as I grew up in Mbeya and Father Phil was a close family friend. He was partly responsible for my early interest in Geology and the decision to pursue that subject at degree level. My Mother and also keen botanist, Rachel Nicholson, was a contributor to the Mbeya Guide and arranged its printing. I was responsible for the sketch on the front.
