Comments:
It was really tough leaving
Brazil and returning to the United States in 1968, as I missed the
Brazilians, fellow PC Volunteers, and the priorities of life as we
knew it for 2 years. But move along I did. I am married and have 4
grown children, am a counselor by profession and work at a City
College in Chicago (where I daily learn something new from my
students from 138 countries), and have been lucky to have returned
to Brazil 5 times, once to Bela Vista and the Pantanal. (Who would
have known we were sitting on one of the most important ecological
sites in the world?!) I have no doubt that my time in Brazil shaped
my path and helped me to become who I am.

Comments:
It is good to read about our time in Brazil. I was sorry to read
that some of our members have died. For about 20 years I have
served as a United Methodist pastor. Guess where my first church
was located....Wakefield! Small world!

Overall, Peace Corps was very rewarding and a great enhancement to my
on-going liberal arts education. Training at ASU was very beneficial, as
was supervision by ASU staff in Brazil.
Returned to Pocone in 1986 for a visit, and located several local
co-workers.
Got a library degree (MLS) in 1974 and have worked as a public library
administrator in Illinois, Wisconsin, Texas, Washington and California.
Currently semi-retired, working off and on as a interim library
administrator.
I can still speak Portuguese, but I frequently mix in Spanish and
Italian.

Most of us went to the state of Mato Grosso. I also spent time in Rio de
Janeiro (state of Guanabara and then spent almost a year in a small town
in the state of Rio called Papucaia. |

I served in Poxoreo Mato Grosso. My wife Julita and son Davis are both
natives of Poxoreo. I return to Brasil yearly. I would enjoy hearing
from others who served in my group. |
