The regions he looked at were:
remote regions of Papua, New Guinea(1950-1967) and Malaita, Solomon
Islands(1980-1981) and on Yap, Micronesia (1947-48
I would welcome his further input on this topic, and I'm confident that
there are others on the list who would like to hear his assessment.
Best Wishes,
