He was an easy going man who, above all, liked peace: He never complained; if he had a remark to pass it was said in a quiet, gentle way.

ann karagwahas quotedlast year
There were some who came and shook me by the hands with tears in their eyes, and there were others who turned away their heads. These were in mourning, and they asked themselves bitterly why this orphan child had been saved when their fathers and sons were still in the mine, ghastly corpses, drifting hither and thither in the dark waters.
