Course Instructor's Letter
Dear students,

My name is Franco L. Lucien, and I will be your instructor for this course. If you've wondered about what qualifies me to teach this subject, it's years of personal studies and living experience. I've lived in Haiti for over seven years, but once I got back to the States, I just had to go back and take a year of college level courses on the history of the island. Before, I've just read and heard stories about it's past, hence I took such an obsessive interest on the subject and began three years of personal studies.

I will be available to answer your questions. You can either go to my user page, and send me a quick email, or you can drop a note on either the course talk page or mine.
