| Thought to be the Last Group to train for Brazil
Recife, PE
August 78 |

November 03
I called up my friend Sandra Wall in Vermont tonight, and got quite a bit of
more accurate information on her group. She has kept a nice scrapbook that
was put together at the end of her training session in Recife, and so was
able to give me accurate dates as well as group member names. First of all,
I was a bit early in my recollection of when she began training--I thought
it was close to January 1978. She certainly concurs with her group being the
last group to arrive in Brazil. She's certain there was no other group also
training in Minas, that hers was the only group to meet in Miami and then
head 3 days later to Recife. My recollection of when she arrived in Brazil
was off by a few months (too early)--her scrapbook records them as ending
their training on October 31, 1978. Since they probably spend 10 weeks in
training, they must have arrived in Brazil sometime in August 1978. This
means that the group's two year stint would have begun sometime in November
1978, which makes sense in terms of when the program finally ended two years
later in November 1980.
She even had an accurate list of all the volunteers in her group--not all
served for two full years, of course, but here is her list of those that
were still there in training on October 1978--I hope I got all the spellings correct over the phone.
