I'm also retired from the FAA, air traffic control operations (management and supervision).

I would like to hear from all of you in our 64-66 invasion of Mato Grosso - I've had a lot of good times but that was the best - you?

I finally made it back to Brazil last year - spent over a week in Santo Antonio and Cuiabá- what a great time! (pictures are on my homepage w/out narrative - I'll be fixing that soon). I'm about to retire on the Oregon coast - would really like to hear from any of you. Hey Dave (Gill), when are you coming back to Oregon? (Jan 04)

I'm a librarian and award-winning artist and have been married to Charles (Chuck) for 22 years. We live in a suburban house with our 2 cats, Bess and Harry. For 3 years in the '90's I chaired the Planning Commission for West Conshohocken, PA.

 

I am grateful for having known and served with you BR15 Volunteers, for our trainers in Tempe, and for all of the kindness that the people of Pocone showed me.

 

Did anyone actually raise rabbits in Brazil?

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.
