Abstract
[Australian missionary kid, missionary, and mission professor, Allison Mary Howell was born in the tin mining town of Manono in the southeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo on November 10, 1951. She was the third child of Richard and Margaret Howell, missionaries in Manono. Allison spent her childhood years in Congo, went to primary school in Zambia and, when her parents returned to Australia, attended high school at Meriden, an Anglican girls’ school in Sydney. Tributes from schoolmates testify to her friendliness and sense of fun, her strong Christian faith, her athletic prowess, and her developing leadership abilities. She served as a competent head girl in 1969, her final year of high school.]
