Robin Yaeger, me, host mother and grandchild, George (Robin's Assistant)
The top U.S. official in Samoa for the past six months is the Charge D’Affairs, Robin Yeager. She is a career diplomat in the Foreign Service responsible for a staff of 19 people and she reports to the U.S. Ambassador in Wellington, New Zealand. Robin is a gracious person opening her private residence to Peace Corps for the Election Returns, Thanksgiving, and Obama’s Inauguration. Her visit to my humble home and her treat of a restaurant meal helps to bring the U.S. a little closer to Savaii.

She sounds like a cool person and a friend to all the PVC. I read Matt's account of watching the inauguration at her house, and it sound like a much more memorable experience than what a lot of folks back here could achieve.
She fits right in with the Samoans!!!
