Oh my God, fond memories. I was a student of Boete LA primary school in 1974, our Headmistress then was Mrs Gladys Solomon, it is a name l will never forget until l die because she was a disciplinarian to the core. At that tender age we were taught so many craft works in the school and we were very good in extra curricular activities. We left Ghana back to Nigeria in 1976.
I miss a lot of my friends that were with me in Boete: Stephen Mensah, Ebenezer Achison, Francis Sarkodie, lsaac Quenu, Ajwesi Gyamfi and a host of others, l don’t know how to locate them, l have tried Facebook to no avail. I long to visit Boete one day.
