The Brasil 8 Group began training in Milwaukee in March 1964. We arrived in Recife in June and I spent my 22nd birthday on the bus with the Alagoas group traveling to Maceió.

I would love to get in touch with my training group. I know that two members are deceased - Ron Foltz and Joyce DeMille.  Ron died in a car accident a few years after returning from Peace Corps.  Joyce became a doctor, returned to Brazil and worked in the favelas of Salvador, Bahia.  She died of cancer in the late '80's or early 90's.  I married Tom Ventre who was a volunteer in Espírito Santo.  We have 3 children and six grandchildren.  Our younger son just finished Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic.

 

I am in touch with the Brazil 7 group and go to their reunions because many of us were together in the 4-S project.  I also am part of the yearly newsletter of the group that came to Minas to work on Clubes Agricolas in 1965 or 66.  John Sullivan and I were the Volunteer leaders for that group when they arrived and we helped set up the project.

Que Saudades!

Check out a new book about Northeast Brazil. It is The Seamstress by Frances de Pontes Peebles, Harper, 2008. A novel based on history and folklore we all knew.
