was a student of mine at texas wesleyan university in freshman english in 1973. i think he was from nigeria or possibly kenya. i thought of him today. i had not thought of him for years. i remember his name because of an abbreviation i read in a footnote to shakespeare's "othello" about that time: om fas, i think it was. i don't remember what it meant. i looked for omasaya on facebook today, but did not find him; i did find a lot of fasoranti's, so at least i got that much right.
perhaps i thought of him because of the ebola outbreak in west africa...quite possibly. one of the infected american doctors is from here. i think he belongs to southside church of Christ. that is a fundamentalist church somewhat like the southern baptists, not to be confused with their sister church the disciples of christ or their northern cousins, the ultra-liberal united church of christ, once the congregationalists i think, if i remember correctly
