After years of procrastination, I am finally sitting down to begin autobiographical notes related to my life. My paternal roots go back as far as the 18th century with the migration of our ancestor from Konigsberg, to Oberschlesien. Konrad was invited by the Presbyterian Church in the USA to go to Siam in 1947 for a three-year stint. He stayed for 41 years. Along the way he undertook an ethnographic study of a Thai village as a field study for his doctoral dissertation at Cornell University. He played a major role in establishing Payap University, the first private university granted accreditation by the Thai government. He was instrumental in setting academic standards, developing a Board of Welfare, and legalizing an International School. | On the Precipice of Prejudice and Persecution by Konrad Kingshill, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
