40TH + 1 peace CORPS ANNIVERSARY 
WASHINGTON D.C. 

The reunion last week was lots of fun and very inspiring. The President of Peru became friends with two PCVs who helped him get to the US where he got a BA, MA, and PhD. He had tears in his eyes as he was finishing his speech and there were lots of others tears in the audience. The friends of Ethiopia and Eritrea have been very active his negotiating a peace between the two countries. Ken Dunn got an award a few years ago for his work in establishing a curb side recycling program in Chicago.

It was great getting in touch with people again and hearing what everyone was doing.

We made two contacts at the reunion that you might want to follow up with.

Gene Whitmer, who trained with several of us in Tempe, Arizona has started a web page, at http://www.expcvsbrazil.com. It has lots of interesting items including a picture of Gail on horseback in Mato Grosso. Another attempt is being made to restart the friends of Brazil group. The contact is randle@ou.edu. If you have any ideas of what projects the group should do send him an email.

There is some more about the group on Gene's web page. If is OK with you I will send your email addresses to these two contacts in a few weeks.

I have added Pat Day's email address. She has been providing a great deal of help to Gene with his work on the web page.

We did not do a very good job of taking pictures, but here are a few from  the march across the Memorial Bridge to Arlington Cemetery.

Let us know if you get to DC and have any time for a visit and think about the 45th in four years.

I am retired from a community college teaching career in health sciences and also from a B&B here in my home on Kauai. I am now a full time ceramic sculptor and enjoy frequent trips to Asia. I visited the Amazon in '96 and am planning another trip to Brasil with other ex PCVs next year. Would love to have a reunion for my group on Kauai.
