Pictured in 1946 is Richard Flores Taitano and Maria Aflleje, with a layover in Hawaii and enroute to Berea College, Kentucky. The second photo was featured 1947 in the The Courier-Journal, Louisville, Kentucky during their attendance at the college.
Richard Taitano served many years as a public servant with many accomplishments. He was the Valedictorian for his 1940 class on Guam. For more information about him see: https://www.guampedia.com/richard-flores-taitano/
If anyone has information or stories to share about Maria Aflleje, I would certainly appreciate adding it to the Chamorro Roots Genealogy Project. Her education and training at Berea College was prepping her for a teaching career on Guam.
