BBC Photos of Camocim is a traditional fishing village in Ceará state, north-east Brazil.

 

I am the youngest daughter of the first PC director in Fortaleza, CE - Fermino J. Spencer. I have traveled back to Fortaleza as an adult and have fallen in love with the people, culture, and climate all over again. If you have not been back to Fortaleza, you owe it to yourself to do so. Fortaleza will surely make you proud of the hard work you did years ago.

Comments:

I am presently the District Outreach Worker for our local school district. Peace Corp work has never left my heart. I am traveling to Brasil this summer to show my two teenage kids the country I still love. My daughter is staying after I fly home to learn Portuguese and work at the APAE that I worked at almost 30 years ago.

After Peace Corps, I finished school, married a local boy, put him through Harvard Divinity School, we pastored churches in Maine, Oregon, and Washington State. I've taught school (presently 5th grade) for 26 years. We have 2 sons and wives, and 1 grandson. Life is good!

Thanks to Paul Chattey and Dave Anderson for steering me to this site. Would love to share Virgin Island training stories and would love to contact all volunteers who served in the Serra de Ibiapaba. I've held Human Resources jobs all my adult life. Am divorced. Have two beautiful grown sons and one beautiful daughter-in-law. I also kept all my letters that I sent home. What a riot! Um abraco!

At last, a RPCV site where we can all find out what happened to each other! Gene's great site is long overdue. Grab all your photos, old address books, memorabilia and spend an afternoon at the computer making this an even better site!

Could be an opportunity to find some old friends. I'm interested in some recordings of traditional Nordeste music, especially of the poets in the backlands; also copies of those little books of verses with lovely crude block prints on the covers. I'd sure like to know what the hell became of my good friend Jim McMannis who shared our casa de taipa em Fortaleza. Aloha
