It opens with a crumpled telegram - that pulled him from a graduate teaching post at Stevens Institute into the Peace Corps in 1963. Sent to Ethiopia, he taught in Addis Ababa, married Betty, and lobbied to be reassigned to Sodo, a remote Wolaita town with no electricity or running water. There they built a home, taught, witnessed the Miracle of Ajura, met Emperor Haile Selassie, and lived through Kennedy's death from afar. Decades later, after a career in technology and publishing, Bill returned to Ethiopia again and again - first stocking school libraries, then funding \"Christmas desks,\" and finally installing RACHEL servers and Chromebooks in Wolaita schools. Locally run, it became his late-life mission. He handed the work to World Possible before passing on September 14, 2025, the day after his 87th birthday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James William Graff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798995282907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graff Family\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"James William Graff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48743200260351,"sku":"9798995282907","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-maple-mud-to-ethiopian-james-william-graff-9798995282907","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
