Dead or alive ?

I have added Category:Possibly living people as the article does not specify. --Racklever (talk) 11:51, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he's dead; see this column from The Inquirer. Nyttend (talk) 23:27, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good sources, if you can get them

I'm pretty sure I've heard of this guy repeatedly; his name is familiar, and not merely because of a confusion with President Sawyer. In the unlikely event that someone can get access, checking the Liberian Age and Liberian Star might be useful for the pre-PRC years, as they were the pre-eminent newspapers of the era, and the Daily Observer will provide what might be a unique perspective during the PRC and civilian Doe eras, since it's one of few publications from the PRC years to remain in publication into the 2010s. The Age and the Star were oriented toward the upper crust of society, the types of people who fled soon after April 12 (among these papers' frequent advertisers were European airlines), but the happenings of the LFTU would be relevant to this audience as well.
