I have ransacked my home office and the rest of the house here in Sampa and found almost nothing Peace Corps related, which means it’s with my mother in Oklahoma. However, the following was on the instructions for sending my trunk to Brazil (funny the things that you do find):
“Peace Corps Members Name: James Bruce Project Name and Number: Brazil UCA/Public Health 65-01-02-02”
The return address on the envelope is"
“Peace Corps Center University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53211,” Postmarked May 14 ’65 (Third class postage was all of $0.06, which really makes me feel like a relic!)
Names recalled from the training group: (without memory crutches like rosters or photos, which I was looking for):
- Peter Dixon - James Wygand - Thomas Murphy - Sharon Cloud (or was that McCloud?) - Marilyn Olson (PC secretary in training, subsequently stationed at Salvador, with regional director Ralph Gutt)
