Author of Far Away in the Sky: a Memoir of the Biafran Airlift, David Koren, will be here to share his experiences as a young American volunteer in the United States Peace Corps in Nigeria in 1964, 1965, and 1966 and then, during a civilian humanitarian relief airlift in 1968 Biafra, the former Eastern Region of Nigeria, he returned. His mother told him to write this book, he says. She is 95 years old, and she handed me a bundle of letters that he had sent her from Africa 50 years ago. She said, You write very well, and you need to tell this story. He'll also share some of the gripping recordings he made from that time.
