Reunion 2010 was held from August 13 - 15 in Columbus, Ohio. During the program, several dignitaries were honored for their immense contributions to Suehn Industrial Academy, the Suehn community and/or the people of Liberia. Dr. LeRoy Boikai compiled a profile of the honorees:

Jack and Angene Wilson
The Wilsons were trailblazers as the first Peace Corps Volunteers at Suehn from 1962 to 1964. Angene and Jack Wilson were instrumental in improving conditions at Suehn for the students at many levels. As young college graduates, they helped improve the quality of instruction for junior and high school students. In addition, the Wilsons helped sponsor a few students through high school and college, including Alfred B. Kennedy of London, England.

As pioneers and trailblazers, the greatest legacy the Wilsons left at Suehn was creating a dirt basketball court on which Mr. Jack Wilson coached the first Liberian high school basketball trophy winners with Tarr Harris, Ben Jefferson, Nathan White, the late David Beyan and others as members of that winning team.

David and Nancy Tolbert Moore
From 1966 to 1969, Mr. David Moore carried on the legacy of high achievement and accomplishments by Peace Corps Volunteers at Suehn. In addition to providing quality education to students, Mr. Moore took on the mantle of sports manager for Suehn and achieved much to advance sporting activities on campus for students. Mr. Moore oversaw the transformation of the school basketball court from dirt to cement with modern backboards. He introduced and exposed students to a variety of sports such as table tennis, lawn tennis, tetherball, long and short distance running and badminton. He purchased quality uniforms for both male and female teams and during his time on Suehn, all the sport teams were very competitive in national high school competitions.

When Nancy arrived at Suehn, she had one of the most recognizable names in Liberia – Tolbert. Nancy was the first Peace Corps Volunteer to serve at the Mattie Mae Davis Public Elementary School. She quickly became the favorite teacher of many students at Mae Davis because of her excellent teaching techniques which many of her students still make reference to today. She served her students with dedication and helped prepare them for success later on in high school and beyond.

While Nancy and David were at Suehn together and shared many meals together, their budding romance which ended with their marriage to each other did not start until Nancy returned to the States.

Rev. Gbessi & Mrs. Esther Kemah
Rev. & Mrs. Gbessi Kemah are regarded as pillars of the Suehn community. Having made Suehn their home, the Kemahs played very significant roles in making Suehn Mission and the Suehn community a recognizable place to live and go to school. Rev. Kemah served Suehn in various capacities ranging from operations manager of the Mission during the era of Mattie Mae Davis to deacon of the Bethel Delaney Baptist Church for many years until becoming its pastor in the 80s and 90s. The Kemahs contributed immensely to the social fabric and economic well-being of the Suehn community. As an example, when Rev. Kemah began to work in Monrovia for the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation, he could have taken his family to live in Monrovia. Instead, he drove about 28 miles daily each way because of his commitment and devotion to the people of Suehn. Lest we forget, Mrs. Esther Kemah, commonly known as Sister Esther, was a nurturing and dedicated teacher for many students who attended the Mae Davis Public School and later came to Suehn Mission to complete high school. Through their dedication and sacrificial services, Suehn Mission remained a beacon in the Suehn-Bopolu region of Bomi County.

Mr. Bibi and Mrs. Jemima Roberts
Mr. & Mrs. Roberts are two proud Suehn products. Mr. Roberts is known throughout Liberia as one of the best agriculturists Liberia has ever produced. He started his agriculture career at Suehn where he managed the mission farm for years during the Mattie Mae Davis era. Through his ingenuity, Suehn nearly became self-sufficient in food production and many students at Suehn learned at his feet to become competent gardeners and future farmers. Like Rev. Kemah, Mr. Roberts did not spare the rod to spoil the child as they meted out discipline among the male students at Suehn which contributed to many students learning to be industrious. After graduating from Suehn, Jemima married Mr. Roberts and together they transformed and revolutionized agriculture at Cuttington College where Mr. Roberts served for more than 25 years as head of their agriculture department.

Mrs. Imogene Collins
Mrs. Imogene Collins is a big sister that many Suehn students and graduates have come to know and love over the years. Sis. Imogene, as she is affectionately called, has always kept her affiliation with and love for Suehn high throughout her life. As a mother, she sent her children for vacation on Suehn with Mother Mae Davis when they were very young. When her children were older and in junior or high school, she sent some of them to Suehn as students. She visited Suehn often throughout her stay in Liberia. While in Liberia, she never lost the common touch with her people in the Suehn area and to this date she speaks fluent Kpelle as a result of her deep connections with her people. Sis. Imogene has been an active member of the alumni association and has served as a crucial link between the Foreign Mission Board and the association and Suehn in the past. She is a constant reassuring voice of encouragement to members of the association.

Rev. Joseph Gbana Hall
Rev. Hall, like Rev. Kemah and Mr. Roberts, has been one of those stalwart sons of Suehn who has always worked in the best interest of Suehn and its former students wherever he is. From his days as a student at Suehn, Rev. Hall has always demonstrated a strong commitment to the upliftment of young people through Christian organizations such as the junior and senior Hi-Y to the Royal Ambassadors. As a national staff of the Baptist youth camp, Rev. Hall helped train thousands of young men through the Royal Ambassadors program in Liberia including many students from Suehn. Rev. Hall has been dedicated and committed to all things Suehn throughout his life. Here in the U.S., Rev. Hall served two consecutive terms as president of the Suehn Alumni Association, helping to inspire members to show interest in the rebuilding of Suehn during and after the war. He is a big brother to many in the association.

Meanwhile, the souvenir program is now available online.
