editHi, Dumelow, thanks for another great article. the sentence In Liberia he met banker George Blowers who secured him a job in Ethiopia when he was appointed governor of the National Bank of Ethiopia.
reads to me almost like Campbell was governor of the Bank, but I think it was actually Blowers. I might be the only one who misread it, but could you maybe clarify? Cheers, Eddie891 Talk Work 14:12, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
