Father Jamme's Faith Upholds Work After Library Fire
In Washington, Pere Albert Jamme, a Belgian scholar of Semitic languages, rebuilds his ruined 35 year research stash after a October fire. Despite ash and loss, he stays driven to recover inscriptions, seeking $40,000 and years to replace 60,000 index cards and priceless notes. Four weeks later a Ford Foundation grant restores his Yemen trip plans.
