Comments:
I served for 2 years in Serro MG, enjoyed it greatly, married a girl from the town I was serving. In 1983 we moved to Vitoria ES where we raised our family for 21 years. We have returned to MN this past year and are still adjusting to life in the USA.

I'm very glad to know there is a web page dedicated to Brazil's RPCVs.

I'm a college professor at the University of Puerto Rico at Ponce, southern Puerto Rico. After my tour of service in Brazil I joined the U.S. Army, after my discharge I went back to study, this to time to become a teacher. I have Master Degree in Media from Purdue University, that allowed me to teach instructional technology courses, mostly computers in education.

While in Brazil Esther Diaz-Figueroa and myself were the only PCVs serving in Minas North East. We were responsible for the 4-S Clubs program at the local level in Teofilo Otoni.

I was part of a large group of married volunteers all working in Minas Gerais and the State of Rio. I have lost track of everyone in my group, anyone out there? I heard that all of our Peace Corps records were lost in an office fire. Any comments regarding this rumor?

Comments:
I have been teaching electrical engineering at Iowa State University and living in Ames, Iowa.

I just discovered a web page for the rural electric cooperative that I helped begin in the 60's with a few hundred members. Now the cooperative has over 5000 members.

Comments:
I spent the year following my Peace Corps service working at a hospital in Vitória.  In 1975 I returned to the US and in 1977 I married a Brazilian lady, Penha from Vitória and we will celebrate 30 years in January.  We have three kids. Julian served four years in the USMC and now lives in Vitória where he teaches English. Adrian and Sasha are college students in Tempe, Az.

I work for Gallup as an interviewer.  Hope to hear from you!
