of a Liberian Mining Engineer –
What you didn’t know about Liberia!” by octogenarian
and citizen extraordinaire, Joseph G. Richards!
 The
family of Joseph G. Richards is pleased to announce the successful
launch of his book at a book signing held at Claret Hall in
Clarksville, MD on Saturday, January 14, 2012. The release
of the book has received media coverage from TLCAfrica, The
Diaspora Voice, The Africa World TV and WBALTV. Please enjoy

book, please send an email to journeyLME@gmail.com
or call 443-415-0007 in the United States and +231-886-540-093
in Liberia.
Mr.
Richards has left for Liberia, where he will hold a second
book signing prior to returning to the United States for another
signing and a Question and Answer session, which is being
requested by popular demand.
He would like to extend his deepest appreciation to all of
his wonderful supporters who attended the event, called or
emailed and those who have purchased copies of the book or
will be purchasing copies of the book in years to come. Without
you, this effort would be in vain. His family would like to
thank him for persevering and completing this very valuable
work which will benefit all Liberians and people from around
the world. At the book signing, Mr. Richards expressed thanks
to his wife of 61 years, Anna L. Richards, for all of her
support and for not only being there for him but, also for
being his friend and business partner, actively engaged in
their various business endeavors over the years. As it is
often said, “Behind every successful man is a great woman!”
The children would like to thank their mother for being the
rock that took care of them while their father spent many
months away, working for the Liberian government.
Thanks
also go to the following persons for all of their work prior
to, during and following the book signing event. Their contributions
were absolutely invaluable and without each one of them, the
event would not have been a success: His children and grandchildren;
other family members and friends, including: Agatha Farngalo,
Banke King Akerele, Dawn Cooper Barnes, Elwood Dunn, Lisa
Cooper Green, Martha Weeks, Michael Richards, M. Daniel Nelson,
Jr., Pereta Summerville, Theodore Morgan, Yvette Lomax and
finally, members of the media, Alvin Peabody (The Diaspora
Voice), Ciata Victor (TLCAfrica), Kwame Clement and Welma
Redd (TheAfricaWorldTV) and Wanda Draper (WBALTV).
