Not sure where to post this. the PC just today notified us of the untimely death of trainee Mitchell Herrmann, a geologist like myself, serving back in 1963. I’m sure he would have done great things. Africa’s, and the PC’s loss. My sincere condolences, from all of the PC family, to Mitchell’s loved ones. And encouragement to the others of his training group. Do well, and have your own memorable experiences. John Turnbull Ghana-3 Geology and Nyasaland/Malawi-2 Geology Assignment.
