Lede sentence

Hi, 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)Reply

Thanks Eddie891, good point. I had a stab at rewording it, let me know if it's better - Dumelow (talk) 14:26, 30 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
