Papa Doc and America
The article seems to omit any notice of contact of Papa Doc with americans. As I know he served in american army as a member of sanitary mission from 1932 till 1934 and from 1940 till 1944. Also he was studying in Michigan state university from 1944 till ?. Any confirmations/objections to this information?
Is there a source? This article seems not to have any citations or references, a basic bio would be a good start. Stan 00:00, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
The biography I have cited is printed in russian [1]. The information about Duvalier having attended Michigan University and about his work as an assistant of US medical mission 1943-1946 has some confirmation through Googling ([2] and [3]). May be some further investigation is necessary.--Begemotv2718 02:25, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC) I can translate this russian source if somebody feel this is necessary.--Begemotv2718 03:34, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Russian is OK to start, English is preferable of course, more people in the English WP will be able to use it. No need to translate, we trust you to make the article report what it says as accurately as possible. Stan 13:41, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I stumbled onto this article after I happened to StumbleUpon this timeline [4] (skip to 1959 for the mention of Papa Doc). I'm commenting because the timeline accuses the US Government of bolstering his regime, while the article has no mention of it. I don't have enough information to determine what is or isn't the truth in that respect, but I thought I'd mention it here. --Knuckle Bean17:11, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
he attended michigan for only a year, had to leave because he had a poor command of english. he worked with the medical mission and helped rid the country of a foot disease contracted by not wearing shoes. cant think of the name of it as i do not have my notes in front of me right now.
