Dispatches from Ethiopia
Traverse City resident Mark Livengood is a Fulbright Scholar at Addis Ababa University in the capital city of Ethiopia for the 2005-2006 academic year. The Fulbright program’s purpose is to build mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries.

From 1998 to 2002, he was director of the Leelanau Historical Museum in Leland. He later did contract work for Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear, an organization he helped found, focusing on the Port Oneida Rural Historic District within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. He also worked for Eastern Michigan University-Traverse City, helping launch a graduate certificate in historic preservation based at the Northwestern Michigan College University Center. More recently, he has been with the Rex Dobson Ruby Ellen Farm Foundation in Bingham Township. Livengood’s e-mail address is markinaddis-ababa@yahoo.com
