May I start on a personal note? Dr. Joy A is always so joyful that I considered naming my son Joy. His good spirits may come form his name but his eloquence and clarity of speech are God given talents. Raised by a dad who instilled the importance of leading by service and influenced by his local parish priest as a young man, Dr. Alemazung sees a leader as " the servant of the people even the most distant and
isolated people in all corners and regions of any nation deserve the
service of their leader"
