I have been watching the Bradley/Matusow Primary saga from Florida. Your web site is the most up-to-date, in-depth around. It's great for out-of-towners who want to keep up on news at home. I've found it more useful than The Journal News. You never skip a beat. It's the next best thing to being there.

BACKGROUND: Memorial and the Invisible Ark have a special relationship with Liberia. Fashion show organizer (and seamstress) Wokie Tubman, Memorial's evangelist and the Invisible Ark's director, is the daughter of assassinated Liberian President William R. Tolbert, Jr. Many of her family members have been killed in the conflict or forced to flee their West African homeland. Tubman's husband Shad is the son of former Liberian President William V.S. Tubman, Tolbert's predecessor, who narrowly escaped assassination during his presidency and died in 1971. William Tubman was the grandson of two freed American slaves who helped found the Liberian colony in the 1830s.
