On July 27, 2018, we (alumni,
former students and friends) of The Bishop Ferguson Episcopal High School of
Harper City, Maryland, Liberia, met at the St. Mark's Church, Gregory Street,
Harper City on Friday, July 27 at 4pm to form an organization geared towards
uniting and galvanizing the efforts and resources of Alumni, former students
and friends of Bishop Ferguson High School in order to resuscitate the already
fallen institution.
The following points summarize
the Meeting:
1. The name of the
organization SHALL be "Bishop Ferguson High School Group." It will
incorporate Alumni, former students and friends of BFHS.
2. The Interim leadership
(organizing committee) SHALL comprised of Messrs. Thomas G. Bedell (chair),
Wreh Pupo (vice), Tabie Thompson (sec/treasurer)
3. This BFHS Group will strive
to Reopen the School in 2019 as a Junior High School. That's the TARGET DATE
AND PURPOSE!
4. This Group will expand
global Networkings to combine all efforts and resources of BFHS Alumni, former
students and friends to reopen the School and sustain it with the help of the
Church.
5. Effective the next meeting,
Saturday, August 1, each member SHALL pay LD$200 as Meeting Due. This will help
to fund the organizing committee's work.
6. Wednesday, August 1, a team
will visit the BFHS campus to do assessment and photograph the remnants
structures for everyone to see and know the current condition of the Campus so
as to figure out the humongous tasks and sacrifices that lie ahead.
7. Appointment will be set to
meet with Dr. Chambers and James Biney who are currently visiting Maryland.
During the Meeting we will discuss the initial workings of the Interim Body.
Dr. Chambers and Biney are both "SnowHillers."

many who did not hear or received any for the past meeting. Radio announcement
will be made at all the few radio stations in Maryland. Funds to subsidize the
Announcement, citations and fuel for transportation to and from Snow Hill to do
assessment will be solicited. Donations are accepted!
9. Mr. Jimmy Togba, aka Jimmy
Rogie, was the only friend of Ferguson in attendance at the Meeting. From all
indications, many friends are expected in our next meeting. Because enthusiasm
and happiness had reached its peak knowing that efforts are underway to reopen
one of Liberia's leading academic institutions to propel Maryland back to its
former position as the "Mecca" of academic education in Liberia.
9. Our next meeting is
scheduled for August 4, at The St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Gregory Street, at
4pm.
