Before

           In less than three years these diaries will be fifty years old. I thought they might be of some interest to those who knew me in Uganda all of those years ago and to my students, many of whom are now the same age as I was then. They are naive, fragmented but do provide a bit of a picture of what my then wife, Fione (Fione Marie Picard, 1943-2001- Fione died of Leukemia in February 0f 2001) and I saw in a Uganda less than three years after independence. (Note: Sections in Bold were carried out and transcribed by Pauline Greenlick in 2008 and 2009 or edited by me in 2013).
